Brownest Mouse in Town

Tarah lives in Warwickshire with her husband and young son. From the age of five, she wanted to become an author and wrote, illustrated and made books for competitions at school or for her younger brother. She studied creative writing at The University of Warwick, but then made her way onto the corporate world and marketing. She recently started writing again and as a new mum felt compelled to write something for children. She is fascinated by the captivating power storytelling has over children and how childhood experiences and memory shape our values and personality traits. Tarah's Mauritian-Welsh heritage and experience growing up in the Middle East attending international schools, has given her a rich and diverse backdrop of race, heritage, custom and culture providing ideas and settings for the stories she is yet to write.

"This book helps teach, uniqueness and to not judge others based on appearances" - @thefinchfamilylife on Instagram ; "It is not only bright and enticing to children but also teaches them to not judge by appearances, to be proud of their uniqueness and to believe in their own strengths which are such important skills to teach our children" - @too_tired_to_trish on Instagram ; "It’s a wonderful story that promotes the idea that everyone has something important to give, even if you think that everyone else has more to offer than you" - @mancunianmum on Instagram
