Knaresborough author publishes first children's book
A Knaresborough author has published her first children’s book to help youngsters understand the natural world.
Anne Bullen, who worked in the education sector for 30 years, wrote “Clova the Cow and Her Field of Friends” during the covid lockdowns after retiring.
She also painted the illustrations during the covid lockdown of 2021.
The idea behind the book is to inspire a love of nature and offer children the chance to understand the natural world, Ms Bullen said.
The book is presented in two sections, the first being an interactive story and the second a factual account of life in the field.
Ms Bullen said:
Ms Bullen, who worked as a development worker for an educational charity and lecturer in early years qualification courses at Harrogate College said she felt nature “contributes greatly to every child and adult's wellbeing and health”.
She added that she hoped the book could be used by parents, carers or practitioners to help facilitate learning and development in children.
The book is available from Amazon and Waterstones.
