The Little Adventures of One Big Family - The story behind my stories

The Little Adventures of One Big Family are a little different from most children's books.
Every story is inspired by something that really happened in our family. The funny moments, the chaos, the little everyday adventures and the things that might not seem particularly important at the time, but somehow become the memories you never want to forget.
That's really why I started writing these books.
They're my way of keeping those moments. Almost like a family diary, only one I'm choosing to share. A collection of memories that my children can look back on one day, and stories that can continue to exist long beyond my own years.
The characters are real too. They're based on my own children, our family and our pets. The illustrations are created from real photographs and edited with the help of AI to turn the people and pets we know and love into the illustrated characters you see in the books.
AI helps me create the pictures, but the stories are mine. Every word is completely my own and was actually spoken by myself or my family.
So when you meet the characters in The Little Adventures of One Big Family, you're not meeting people I've invented or reading adventures I've made up.
They're real people. Real names. These things really happened. These are our memories, our adventures and our stories

Meet Mum, Dad, Mamma, Granddad, Callum, Maria, Jasmine and Sameena, along with Max the  protective German Shepherd and, of course, Bo the playful poodle cross.
