Isla McGuckin

Isla McGuckin is a dreamer and a writer and the proud mother of daughters. Endlessly optimistic, Isla believes that words have the power to open hearts, change minds and make the world a better place. Born and raised in urban Yorkshire, Isla now lives in a tiny house beside the seaside in Donegal. April's Garden is her first picture book.

"Shying away from difficult topics, when you’re writing for children, does a disservice to the children whose lived experiences are challenge-filled. More than ever, we need prompts for conversations that develop compassion and empathy. Filled with hope and humanity, April’s Garden is essential reading for our troubled times."
