About the Author
Hi! I’m Josh, a children’s author and primary school teacher based in Devon. I absolutely love my job. Every day, I get to learn and laugh with amazing children and (hopefully!) inspire their curious minds.
I write fun and exciting stories about adventure and friendship, inspired by the curiosity of my own two children.
I’ve always loved learning about space – so much so that my new book takes place on the moon! When I’m not teaching or dreaming up new adventures with my children, you’ll probably find me reading, playing sports or wondering what it would be like to fly to the moon in a hot air balloon.
