Since the 1980s, I've journeyed across continents, my affinity for words began at the tender age of 9, with poetry and short stories offering an enchanting escape. Little did I know this hobby would soon blossom into a lifelong passion.
Much of my inspiration can be traced back to Mrs. Love, my English teacher in secondary school, who ignited my love for the written word. A memorable chapter of my life began in 1985 when I relocated to Tripoli, Libya. With a scarcity of books in schools, I took it upon myself to craft stories for the children at the local British institutions. This period of scarcity emphasized the incredible power of books; in their absence, we yearn for the solace they provide. So, as a community, we came together, turning voids into vibrant tales.
My writing journey didn't stop there. I contributed to various newspapers worldwide, including 'The Times' in Kuwait in '89, right on the cusp of the first Gulf conflict, and penned articles in Libya, Sweden, the UK, and numerous other countries. The tales of my adventures are both vast and varied.
Today, I call Portugal home.
I ardently believe in the power and significance of books, particularly for our younger generation. Every child deserves a life filled with joy, understanding, and contentment. While reality sometimes paints a different picture, we can always aspire for a better world.
Guiding me through all my adventures is a simple, yet profound motto: "Always be the very best you can be."

In a World of Colour, Julie Hodgson combines the vibrant world of color with the rhythm of rhyming. Julie catches the imaginations of children using the various colors that brighten all creation. This book will delight children as they learn their colors. To illustrate the various colors, Julie uses images from nature. From simple sky blue to the more intricate orange of a tiger or certain types of owls, color surrounds each one of us. Can you imagine how dull life would be if everything was only black or white? Instead of boredom, color gives the world life and excitement. Join Julie as she travels the world and shares all the wonders of color.
In a World of Colour is a children’s picture book full of both rhyme and color. Julie Hodgson captures the world in simple rhymes and presents the colors as found all around us. The colorful artwork is done by Julan. As you read this book with your child, be sure to ask the child what color the words are. Reading this book is just plain fun. However, I appreciate how Julie combines the fun of reading with the world of color. We need more books that join fun with learning. After reading this book, plan a color hunt with your child. Walk around the block or take a nature walk while counting how many different colors you can see. Your child will enjoy reading this book and any new activity you can come up with by using the book as a starting point.
