Clare specializes in non-fiction books for children of pre- and primary school age. Her favourite subjects are animals, history, art and culture. She has been shortlisted for the prestigious Aventis Junior Science Prize, and won a dozen Practical Pre-School Gold Awards. When she's not writing, Clare likes spending time with her family, taking long walks, going to the theatre and watching contemporary dance - her favourite dancer is Akram Khan.

it's so easy to take trees for granted, but this book really encourages children to take a closer look at trees and highlights their importance to us ... beautifully illustrated with colour photos and diagrams -- I like the fact that there are lots of small photos included in the questions for children: these will help them identify trees as well as appreciate their beauty. A great way to encourage children to appreciate nature.
