I’m Stuart James. I write (and occasionally illustrate) picture books for children. From pillow-gripping epics to hair-raising royal catastrophes, I aim to create stories grown ups can enjoy reading to little ones, the kind I liked to read to my daughter. A bit of depth, a touch of rhythm and a sprinkle of humour.
My 'day job' is as a graphic designer, but with a few books already published on Amazon, writing has become a hobby which has got a bit out of hand. I’m very happy to be a part of Alli and to learn from the wealth of resources and experience here. And I’ll try and share any knowledge or insight I gain along the way!

A Christmas Pickle
A heart-warming, cosy Christmas read with a gentle sprinkling of humour to delight the whole family.
