    About this ebook

    A science fiction fable with a touch of Poe and a twist of Dahl. A teeny water bear sits at play on her tiny meteor when another traveller crash-lands on her rocky home. And so unfolds a haiku horror picture story...

    Star Bear is a tough little tardigrade. Her story is told in the official verse of all aliens: haiku!

    I am first and foremost a reader. I love languages: each language opens another door. I enjoy writing children's stories, especially picture books. I also paint and sculpt.
