About Jacqueline Richards

The author originally started writing when living in a developing country - telling stories to illiterate school children - which then progressed as a hobby. She attributes her imaginative yet, fun, informal literary technique to teaching English as a foreign language whilst using limited resources in village settings. These educational short stories hope to address subjects, often thought by schoolchildren to be boring in new, fun and innovative ways - simplifying difficult maths and science concepts poetically. For example, what happens when galaxy throws a party for the Sun, but the planets all get jumbled up, a bookworm who munches his way through classic literature, an astronaut who can't countdown and so on?
