To print 100 copies of my first children’s book ‘DINNER WINNER’
My son Finn and I love to rhyme. One evening during dinner, we were playing a rhyming game when Finn started inventing his own silly words to win — like “Stonkytonktee!” It was very funny :)
That moment sparked an idea for a children’s book that combines fun, laughter, and learning. I wrote and illustrated 'DINNER WINNER' — a playful story designed to get kids excited about reading and rhyming.
Now, I’m raising funds to print 100 full colour copies of the book. Every contribution helps bring this cheery, read-aloud story to life for others to enjoy.
With your support I intend on gifting copies of the book to local schools and libraries.

The book is 40 pages long and dimensions 247 x 176mm (height x width).
A bit about me - I studied illustration at the Glasgow School of Art and the Royal College of Art, London. I grew up in Dumfries and I’ve lived/worked in Glasgow since 1997.
