He is the author and illustrator of three picture books: 'Planet of the Monsters', 'Planet of the Monsters' and 'The Magic Birthday Cake'. His writing career grew initially out of his work as a children's storyteller for the library service of the multi-ethnic London borough of Lambeth. His first two books made a groundbreaking contribution to children's picture book literature in port.aying children of different ethnicities playing shared roles in an adventure context. They were also distinguished by their strident use of colour and childlike illustration style.
