Growing up, Hannah’s biggest dream was to own a cat and be a writer and she’s happy to say she’s achieved both. After studying screenwriting at university she went onto work in the London film and theatre industry before following her heart to sunnier climes. She now lives in Lincolnshire with her tortoise, her cat and her husband.

Hannah is passionate about writing stories which share her love of the planet and is a proud ambassador for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation charity.

Her inspirational bestselling book, THE LAST BEAR won The Blue Peter Book Award and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize in 2022 and is translated into 27 languages around the world. Hannah’s second book, THE LOST WHALE won the Edward Stanford Children’s Travel Book of the Year. FINDING BEAR - a sequel to THE LAST BEAR - was a top five children’s hardback bestseller on its release in September 2023. And her new book, TURTLE MOON, is coming soon.

All four books are illustrated by award winning illustrator, Levi Pinfold.
