About Attie
Attie writes poetry for children. She enjoys time in the writing shed, and visiting schools to share poems.
Attie has been a Primary School teacher, a Pre-School teacher, and a lava lamp polisher. 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 first solo collection of poetry for children will be published by Otter-Barry Books in 2025.
