Eoin McLaughlin (Author)
I went to ten different schools (that's a lot). I was always that new kid. Along the way, I learned that if I could make people laugh, then things would generally be okay, so that's what I've carried on doing. I ended up working as a writer at Channel 4, I've also written a John Lewis Christmas advert and lots of children's books. They've been translated into over 25 languages and twice been named 'Books of the Year' in The Guardian.
(That's a photo of me hoping you're about to laugh.)

When my amazing adventure began, I was just a seed. It's true. But with a little help from Derek the squirrel and Barbara the beetle, I turned into a tiny sapling, a handsome tree and, finally . . . a wonderful book! And guess what? I'm the book that you're holding. A book to be loved, shared and cherished forever.

So here we are. Once I was a tree. Who grew into a book. And I know just the story to share. It's got a beetle called Barbara. And a part where I come out of a squirrel's bottom. It will teach children all about how books . . . come from trees . . . which come from seeds. And wait for this . . .
The book that I grew into . . . is the book that you're holding. I'm not tall. But I'm still quite handsome. And I still smell good. Don't you think?
