About Emily KempsterLucy CannonRebecca Skinner

Emily Kempster is an English teacher with 20 years experience working in Gloucestershire secondary schools. Her passion for books inspired her to write from a young age anything from short plays to ghost stories. More recently in an attempt to entertain her young family and support her youngest daughters difficulties with some speech sounds she has focused on writing narrative poems. She hopes that the Mindy and Mo adventures will capture the imagination of young readers as well as support their speech sound development. Lucy Cannon is a painter illustrator and designer. Interested in all things creative from an early age she studied Art and Graphic Design at college before heading into a successful management career in the voluntary sector. To follow her passion for art she set up Imagination by Lucy which offers mural painting illustration and creating custom home furnishings and apparel. Lucy is also involved in charity work helping families who have children with heart conditions but her most rewarding role to date is that of mum to two young children one of whom had significant speech difficulties up to the age of 5. She now juggles time between bringing up her family running her business helping others and eating too much chocolate.Rebecca Skinner is Head of Speech and Language Therapy and author at Thriving Language Community Interest Company.
