Joyce Dunbar
Joyce Dunbar has published more than 80 books. Translated into 20 languages, she is best known for her lively and quirky picture books stories, with their wide emotional range. She can be funny, as in I WILL NOT WEAR PINK, ( joyously illustrated by her daughter Polly); vividly poetic, as in PUSS JEKYLL CAT HYDE, reassuring, as in her best selling title TELL ME SOMETHING HAPPY BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP.

…a passionate authenticity of imagination.’ She revels in the joy of language, the playfulness of words, and in seeing her work fabulously brought to life by world class illustrators.
The Guardian
Newspaper
Joyce Dunbar is one of the best writers for children today, and this is a wonderful example of her sensitivity, lyrical style and gentle humour.
Dinah Hall
The Sunday Telegraph
If the television series of Joyce Dunbar’s Mouse & Mole captures even a tenth of the charm of her books, then it will be something very special. The two cohabiting animals are characters that stand alongside the greats of children’s literature, Toad, Ratty and Winnie the Pooh. They work their magic not just on 2-6 year olds, but on parents too, so perfectly judged is the humour, and so perfectly paced the dialogue.
