Maria Farrer writes for children and young adults. She studied Speech and Language pathology at UCL and has a Masters in Writing for Young People from Bath Spa. She has spent much of her life working with children with language and literacy difficulties both in the UK and in New Zealand. She always likes to have a challenge on the horizon, preferably one involving mountains or large hills.
Her latest series of books involving a huge, hapless, but really rather helpful polar bear is undoubtedly her favourite.
A cute tour of Australia with Santa here on his holidays. Conducted in rhyming prose and available in board book or hard back versions. Perfect for Aussie kids, or a gift to send overseas.
