edit data

Gareth Simmonds was born and raised in Chesterfield, where his first dreams were to become a writer. Today Gareth lives with his Wife and Children in the seaside town of Torbay, South Devon. Alongside writing and illustrating fun, heartwarming Children’s stories, he spends his days as a Youth Worker.

Always eager to explore the creative arts Gareth is also a published Songwriter, Graphic Designer and even built and designed Campervans. He also spent some time working as a teacher before writing his first set of children’s books.

Rocket the Rabbit, Gareth’s eagerly-awaited Children’s book, was described as a ‘tribute to all dreamers’, making it a fitting introduction to the industry - but rest assured, there’s plenty more to come.

Quotes by Gareth Simmonds (?)

“A is for the angelfish that amble around,
B is for the bay where the barnacles are found
C is for the clownfish in the coral reef
D is for the diver discovering the deep”
― Gareth Simmonds, ABC at the Sea: The Rhyming Alphabet Ocean Book
