Davey's Daydreams

After years working in children’s entertainment, Louise Gooding channelled her creativity into writing. Louise has a keen interest in sharing stories that feature characters that stand out, are different, and who have something to say. Inspired by stories from her own experiences and those of her family, she took up writing to find a way of discussing neurological and physical diversity, and how to explore other sensitive issues within children’s books.Irina Avgustinovich is a children’s book illustrator from Belarus, now based in Portugal. Despite having a bachelor’s degree in classical painting and ceramics, she found herself in children’s illustration many years ago.
