Author & Illustrator
Behind the Scenes
Chicken Pot Turtle was created in 2012 when our illustrator’s son Finn (four years old at the time) and his Dad were reading books together. Inspired by the stories they read, the two began making up characters of their own with silly names and funny tales. Chicken Pot Turtle “stuck” and for days Finn ran around the house yelling “Chicken Pot Turtle”, “Chicken Pot Turtle”! Our little character became a popular topic at the dinner table, during playtime and at dance parties. He wouldn’t go away. One day, auntie Angela (author) suggested we write a book about Chicken Pot Turtle. We all looked at each other with wide eyes and big grins, the rest is history. And because of our love for travel and exploring, the theme for our children’s book series was developed.
