Outside In

Daniel Thompson is an award-winning UK children’s author and poet whose books celebrate imagination, empathy and big feelings in little people. He has written picture books for HarperCollins Children’s Books including Being You, Outside In and All of Me, and titles for Collins Big Cat such as Escape Room and Giraffe in Space. Alongside his more heartfelt stories, Daniel also loves writing funny, playful poetry for younger readers, filled with silliness, surprises and laugh-out-loud moments. He regularly visits schools and festivals, leading interactive sessions that encourage children to fall in love with words. Daniel lives in the UK and is usually thinking about his next story.Collins makes books full of ideas, creativity, hands-on activities and opportunities to find out more about the things that interest children. We want our books to inspire and entertain them, celebrate their passions and interests and support their emotional wellbeing. We also want to help children be aware of our impact on the planet, which is why all of our books are carefully made with responsibly sourced materials.
