About the author
Sally R. Wilkes
7 books2 followersSally first started writing in 2016 just after her eldest daughter was born. She began to write poems and rhymes about everyday life as a way of processing and expressing the tidal wave of emotions she felt as a new mum.
Inspired by the books that she was reading to her daughter, Sally turned her hand to writing and illustrating children’s rhyming stories in 2017. The first of these, “A New View of the Zoo,” was created after a visit to Berlin zoo. She has since gone on to write and publish two more children's stories.
Sally wrote and illustrated "Harry's First Holiday" following a trip to Dubrovnik with friends. “The Potogold And The Broken Rainbow" was written in collaboration with Georgie M. Beadman and illustrated by The Sibling Group at The Rainbows Hospice For Children And Young People. All proceeds from this book are donated to the hospice.
More recently, Sally made the decision to publish the rhymes that she wrote on her feelings and experiences during the first two years as a mum. These now form the book "No Dummy For Mummy: From Poppy Seed To Parrot". It took Sally a while to muster the courage to publish this book, as some of the rhymes were written at her most vulnerable moments. However, she was motivated by her belief that her words have the potential to help other parents.
Sally continues to document her experiences of motherhood, now with two little ones, so there is the possibility that there will be more No Dummy For Mummy books to follow.

This book enables the reader to see a visit to the zoo through the eys of a child. It is bright and fun, just as it should be. My child and i loved pointing out the different animals and going on a fun adventure with Jasmine.
