About
Welcome to The Book Tree, where readers and writers are grown and books are loved and shared.
The Book Tree is the realisation of a lifelong passion for children’s books and reading. By Grade 3 I had moved school four times and it was in the local libraries that I found a world of friends, adventure and mischief waiting for me.
Words became my career and I’ve worked for many years in the magazine industry, and even longer as a freelance writer. I run the Kingsmead Young Writers’ Competition and am author of three Book Dash books which are distributed to disadvantaged schools. I also have a book deal with Imagnary House Publishers and I can’t wait to share the book here soon!
We launched a children’s book podcast last year – if you’d like to be a guest, contact us here.
The Book Tree is focused on this aim: to excite children about reading, to help parents on this path and to get books into the hands of children throughout our country. We share all things bookish, from reviews, to news, tips and book topics. Check out our book reviews and sign up to our monthly newsletter here.
Grow your children into readers – it will change their lives.

Books are reviewed by a host of reviewers from children and parents to educators and writers. If you’d like to review a book for us – let us know and join The Book Tree Club.
An early start. From Grade 1, I knew I loved reading best!
