Usborne Children's Encyclopedia

Felicity has worked for Usborne for over 30 years and has written and edited hundreds of titles, from books on tractors to genetics, from Shakespeare to mental health, and plenty of sparkly unicorns. Felicity is an expert in making tricky topics friendly and accessible to young children and recently has been writing books that celebrate feelings, friendship, empathy, families, and diversity. When she's not writing or researching very specific details on dinosaurs, Felicity can be found tramping through fields and forests foraging for food or just curled up with a bag of Twiglets, a couple of cats and a crossword.

The engaging design invites browsing as much as project-based research, ensuring it will be pulled from the shelf time and again. Parents will appreciate its academic value, and children will be inspired to explore the world with wonder and independence.
