Milk top invader and bold aviator…

Children’s Books by Astra

Were you scared?
— asked the gorilla.
No different isn’t scary. It’s just different.
— replied the Little Blue Tit

But the Little Blue Tit wanted to be adventurous! He wasn’t scared of what he would discover, he is brave and bold. On his travels he discovers many different animals and learns that different isn’t scary, it’s just different.

Blue Tits didn’t go on adventures, the other Blue Tits kept telling him so.
Have you seen a bee’s bum?
A busy, tizzy, dizzy bum.
It’s a fuzzy bum, a buzzy bum.
Busying itself with a buzzy hum.

School Visits

Over the last year I have had the privilege of being the Artist in Residence for a school here in Suffolk and have visited numerous others for day visits.

I organise bespoke workshops catered to the curriculum and through these interactive workshops, I encourage experimentation, imagination, and self-expression. Empowering students to think outside the box and nurture their unique artistic voices. Engaging with students allows me to share my personal journey as an artist, encourage confidence in budding creatives and see individual progress.

I adapt my workshops depending on age, skillset and the relevant projects the students are working on.
