Autorenporträt
Odette Elliott has been writing stories ever since she was ten years old. When her youngest child started school, her grandmother asked, "So when are you going to send off all your stories and write some more?" This was the push that she needed.Odette's dream came true when her picture book, Under Sammy's Bed, was published, followed by Sammy Goes Flying. Both books appeared on the BBC's TV programme Playbus and have been shown around the world. Two other 'Sammy' books followed. Sammy's Christmas Workshop, published in 1992 is still being borrowed in libraries. My Big Brother JJ was published in 2009 was used in SATS tests in 2019.The 'Sammy' books are based on the fantasies of Odette's youngest child, who always pretended that he could keep up with his older brother and sisters. 'Abigay's Farm' was inspired by cousins who ran an Open Farm.Odette enjoys writing, reading, travelling - especially in the Sottish Highlands - walking in the countryside, gardening and being a grandmother.For more information, see Odette's website and blog http://www.odetteelliott.co.uk, Twitter @keepwritingOdet and Facebook odette elliott.5
