About the author:
Inspired by the Romantic movement in English Literature and its affinity with the natural world, Tina Talbot, has written a series of children's books to engage children in nature. Accepting that our advance in technology is as human as our dependency on nature, Tina, is striving to create a balance between the two. She believes that nature has been as integral a part of our evolution as the innovative accomplishments of our ancestors. Tina hopes that children will fall in love with the characters in her books as much as they love their technology, inspiring a lifelong harmony and reverence of nature that will ensure the survival of our planet.
“When President Trump announced the United States' withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate change in June 2017, I was furious. I decided there and then that, if the most powerful man on the planet was not going to take nature seriously, then it was my job to do it. As Gandhi said, 'You must be the change you wish to see in the world'. I decided to write a series of children's books about our most precious natural resources. I have published four books so far introducing ‘The Daring Droplets’ and ‘The Wilful Wildflowers’. I am currently working on the fifth book about a loveable sea turtle.
“The books have been met with enthusiasm by parents, primary school teachers, forest schools, and most importantly, the children. I also have a wonderful letter from Sir David Attenborough, that has encouraged me through my literary journey. I have visited many schools over the last few years and enjoy reading to the children immensely. They are all wonderful and have taught me as much as I teach them. Although one little boy was sad to see that I was not David Walliams, I won him round in the end!”
