Katie Hopper

Katie Hopper writes stories splashed to life with the crayons of her son and daughter.

A family, living in a coastal town in Northern England, creating little books to explore tricky feelings.

As people do, they occasionally find themselves lost in the pursuit of clarity whilst navigating some of life's bumpy roads.

Their compass lies in writing and illustrating stories together in an attempt to make sense of emotions that surface along the way, that can sometimes result in stumbles.

Once carefully stitched together, they turn their creations into real-life books, in the hope they might help to guide others navigating similar bumpy roads, feeling similar emotions.

They have created five books to date, which address the following topics: grief, empathy, self-worth, anxiety, and intuition.

The Lady Who Came From The Sun

The Boy With The Heart-Shaped Balloon

The Girl Who Found Her Glow

The Trees Within Us All

Sylvia's Candle
