If I could have a superpower it would definitely be the ability to fly like Sonny. I love the thought of never having to get stuck in a traffic jam again!

I think it's important all kids get to see themselves in books. I'm a big fan of superheroes but when I was growing up I didn't get to see people who looked like me as superheroes on screen or in books so for a long time I’d wanted to write about black children with superpowers

In my first book, my protagonist Prune has the power to bring her drawings to life while my newest protagonist Sonny can fly, teleport and move things with his mind. Both children live in a town which isn't as ordinary as they think it is

Many of the authors, poets and illustrators available to be patrons also now offer a #VirtualPatron option, where the majority of visits take place online. It's a great way for pupils to engage with writers but also keeps costs down. Please share. patronofreading.co.uk
