Tell Me a Story About: A Tractor

Little Hop loves stories. And she asks a lot of questions. Her curiosity leads to some rather exciting adventures! Join her to learn about the world through beautifully illustrated stories.

Claire Watts has written over fifty illustrated nonfiction children's books on topics as diverse as dinosaurs, model-making, Vikings, superheroes, deserts and maths. She loves to take big ideas and distil them so that they're understandable to a child audience. For every fact you include, you have to ask yourself, 'Will a child understand this?' 'Do I need to go back a step and explain?' When she is not writing or doing writing-related things, Claire works as a learning assistant and librarian in a primary school near her home in south-west Scotland.
