Oliver was born in Chichester West Sussex and lives in nearby Bognor Regis with his parents and younger brother.

He attended school firstly in Rose Green which is on the outskirts of Bognor Regis and then he moved on to Chichester Free School in Year 4.

He had a love of reading from an early age and read many books with his Grandmother.  He particularly thrived on Harry Potter.

However, he found writing very difficult.  He comes from a family with many dyslexics and from a very early age, his family thought he was one too.  He was finally diagnosed in 2020.

Once dyslexia was confirmed Oliver gained the confidence to start writing. This book is the result of that revelation and his newfound self-belief.

This book is all about a forest somewhere in England, where for some unknown reason all the animals have copied human behaviour. They talk like humans, they dress like humans, and they also act like humans.

A rat, rabbit, and hedgehog have formed a close friendship. They have fantastic, exciting adventures together.

Anything can happen in this forest. There''s no end for fun with these animals.

The joy and warmth shine through this simple rhyming picture book, as a young boy recounts his day ''When Grandma Comes To Play''

The perfect gift for Mother''s Day, Grandparent''s Day, and any day shared with Grandma!
