After working as a copywriter for more than 20 years, Helen stopped writing for clients such as The Economist and Oxfam and started writing for children instead. Her first picture books were published in 2014, by Penguin Random House and HarperCollins.
Helen lives in Sussex, UK, with her husband, two daughters and two black cats.
Helen's latest picture book, The Spots and the Dots, is illustrated by Marion Deuchars and will be published by Andersen Press in October 2020.
