I am a storyteller and qualified early years teacher. I developed my interest in science through photography and later by studying the northern lights. Now settled back in the Lake District, I have written a science story book aimed at 5 to 8 year olds. Sylwedyth is a local stone-age girl who questions her tribe's sayings. She becomes a scientist and creates Britain's first stone circle. The book has science explanations for KS1 and a bonus story about inventions set in the court of Louis XIV.
