Sara Westaway

 Sara Westaway is professional artist, illustrator and author living and working in rural Dorset, UK.  She divides her time between illustration commissions, large scale hospital decoration projects and  producing her own beautifully illustrated Children’s Books.  All of Sara’s work in inspired by nature and she explains her motivation for her new titles...  “I began writing children’s books when my son started Primary School. He was a clever boy, but  just couldn’t get the hang of reading. School was a nightmare for him, but he found solace and  endless enjoyment from being outside, learning about animals and plants. I was determined to create  books that embraced this natural interest in all things wild, whilst at the same time using these topics  to help encourage early and reluctant readers. I am passionate about children enjoying the simple  pleasures to be found just beyond the back door, and I hope that the books will spark an interest in  reading and the natural world that will last a lifetime.
