Vicky and June: Friends at Play was released in the UK on October 9, 2025!

This is a new venture for me -- an early chapter book with five separate stories about two friends. I am so excited about it!

Vicky is inventive and rambunctious; June is intellectual and reserved. Will their differences come between them? Or will they find a route to becoming the very best of friends?

Charmingly illustrated throughout by Hoang Giang and published by Walker Children's Books UK.

Available now through UK bookshops and online sellers. (The book can also be purchased in the US through international sellers.)
