About Attie
Attie writes poetry for children. She dreams of her own writing shed, and is a big fan of Post-It notes and pens.
Attie has been a Primary School teacher and a Pre-School teacher, among other things. She is a mum of three, a keen tea drinker, and can often be found running away from her own cat (he bites!).
Attie's debut poetry collection for children is Blue Jelly and Strawberries, from Otter-Barry Books, and illustrated by Kate Sheppard.
