Sue Wickstead lives in the UK and writes children’s picture story books.
Her stories relate to both her experiences as a teacher as well as her play-work adventures with a Playbus.
The Playbus was a real double-decker bus full of toys, arts and crafts, as well as a lot of fun to play on. She wrote a photographic social history book about the project which led to her story telling and her writing. All of Sue’s books do have a bus included in them somewhere.
When not writing Sue builds models with Lego, she also loves spending quality time with her young grandson and enjoys creating models to share with him on his visits.
Her grandson features in her book ‘Barty Barton; the bear that was loved too much’ which was published in 2020.
