Camilla Reid is one of the UK’s most successful early years authors, known for her engaging, family-friendly books, including the Pip and Posy stories, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, and the Peekaboo series, illustrated by Ingela Arrhenius. Camilla has written over 200 titles, with worldwide sales of over 40 million copies. As a passionate campaigner for early years reading, Camilla believes that the daily habit of sharing a book which entertains and inspires is key to the cognitive development and emotional security that are so essential for a child to thrive in school and beyond. She regularly speaks at events for early years experts, and recently appeared on the Cbeebies Parenting Download podcast. This year sees the publication of Camilla's new book I am Ready for School which is designed to prepare three to four year olds – and their parents – for starting reception.
