Award-winning children's author Donna Vann

 

I started writing stories at age eight and am still going strong! At the moment I'm working on poems, picture books and some novels which are laugh-out-loud funny.

 

When I'm not writing, you might find me cycling down to the sea to pick up a few more stones or shells for my collection. There's something peaceful about these ancient pieces of the earth's crust - they will be here long after we're gone.

 

Or perhaps I'll be taking a hike, hanging out with family and friends, or reading. I might be visiting a school, library or scout group to encourage new writers.

 

 

I am so excited about winning a book award!! 

 

GALACTIC DOG! has won The Wishing Shelf Award

 

After Chipper accidentally teleports into Outer Space, he and his human friends must figure out how to rescue a pink planet from the evil Earth cat Hubble, and get back home!

 

 

Wonderfully illustrated by Joseph Wilkins. Perfect for ages 6-10, and it's also dyslexia-friendly.

 

"A teleporting dog, disasters and cat pee, all the ingredients of a fun adventure!" Emma Finlayson-Palmer, author of Autumn Moonbeam

   

" A funny book - I loved how you couldn't predict what would happen next." Jack, age 7 1/2

 

"This book made me laugh out loud at bedtime and I got told off for reading too late. Totally worth it!" Sophie, age 7
