Donna Rose

Donna has worked in education for over 20 years. She has always had a passion to improve educational opportunities for children and young people, especially in areas of sports and physical activities. As a PE Coordinator, she has led her school to achieving the Platinum Award for PE and School Sport from the School Games Mark and Gold Standard from Youth Sports Trust. Donna loves working with children and strives to improve their lives in all areas.

Donna lives on the outskirts of London with her two grown up sons, husband, and dogs. She has a large wider family, with the children being at the centre of their lives.

Donna’s initial interest for writing picture books started when her children were young, and this was intensified when she attended university. Her most recent inspirational experience for writing, and motivation for publishing, came from a personal encounter between her and her mother. She has dedicated her debut book, Wanda and the Wishes, to her mother as a special thank you to her.
