Gillian BowesMy name is Gillian Bowes and I was brought up in Mytholmroyd (birthplace of Ted Hughes); I went to Wolverhampton Polytechnic which later grew up to be a University. After working with school leavers and carrying out clerical posts, I qualified as an arly Years Teacher in 1992, and have taught in ten schools. The most unique school being in Myanmar (Burma) where I taught 60 international nursery-aged children and the the longest stint of twelve years at Colden, above Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire, home of free-range children, snow and farm shop fame. I have produced three incredible children of whom I am very proud and now live in Haworth, West Yorkshire (once home to the Bronte sisters). From my desk at home, I am privileged to have a view of the steam trains and beautiful countryside used in the Railway Children film, and I am a stone's throw from the moors roamed by Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. I have worked on my picture book Something Blue for many years before deciding to self-publish in 2022.After recently leaving education, I now work part time for the Sue Ryder Charity and complete the odd day supply teaching. I aim to take my books into schools as an Author and deliver entertaining story sessions just for fun!The text is illustrated by Louise Redshaw. Read More Read Less
