Elias Grace Author

Elias Grace is a skimmer of stones (bounce record 12), a dancer of dances, wearer of rainbows, and most of all a haver of fun and a befriended of all. He can do a wheelie on his scooter at the skatepark where the big children call him "bro". He once built a car track out of the bedroom window down into the garden. He is vibrant, loud, full of energy and instantly kind.

She has been a special school teacher, a foster carer and a support worker for people with disabilities and neurological differences. She grew up on a boat at sea and now lives in rural Cornwall close to the ocean that she loves. Joanna is autistic.
