Natalie Savvides

My name is Natalie Savvides. I’m a mother to two young children living between Milan and London. I am of mixed British, Italian, and Greek heritage, and I grew up in North London. Ever since I received a kindness and generosity award in my early years at school, I have made it my mission to spread these values. After graduating in Modern Languages, I went on to work in different fields in both the UK and abroad, including several years teaching English overseas.

I have always loved writing and drawing and since having my children, I have dedicated my time to writing professionally. When I am not writing, I am involved in children’s and kindness charities, and most recently, have joined the UNESCO Kindness Advisory Council as a Kindness Advisor for the #KindnessMatters Global Campaign.

The Heartbeats

Following the birth of my two children, I felt a passion for writing children's books in an attempt to make the world a better place for them to grow up in. I created two fun, loving, colourful characters, Henry & Henrietta Heartbeat who live life in a positive, cheerful way, spreading the message of kindness wherever they go! The idea is to educate children at the earliest stage, about the importance of kindness and love towards each other, in the hope that it simply becomes a way of life - making the world a happier place.
