Inspiring Young Readers

Interview with Cath Jones

The Letterpress Project has asked authors and illustrators to think about what has inspired them as artists, what their favourite books are and how they relate to their audience - we've also asked them if they themselves are book collectors.

We are delighted to present an exclusive interview with the children's author, Cath Jones. Cath is the author of quirky picture book Bonkers About Beetroot and lots of  books for early and reluctant readers. She also writes junior and middle grade fiction. Her whole life has been about books: as a librarian, teacher, editor, community gardener (vegetable story-time anyone?), and now an author she has always aimed to inspire a love of stories. She loves sharing her stories with children of all ages in libraries, bookshops, schools and especially on allotments. 

She has her own website and if you want to find more you can click on this link: https://cathjoneswriter.wordpress.com/
