Testimonials
"A massive thank you for providing fun workshops that have kept my sons’ love of learning and kept them outdoors with nature. They have loved every one of them and can’t wait to enjoy more." – Mell
"The workshops with Giulietta and Fire Mammal have been absorbing for my 8yr old on so many levels. The atmosphere is calm and giving, with plenty of space for contribution and individual elaborations. From one workshop to the next, a journey is woven, bringing each alive with offerings of writing, a ceremony of creating fire together, learning about trees and observing nature. Subjects drift around the fire fluidly to inspire, from folklore and science, sketching or building the results, or bringing them to life with sounds and movement, dancing, singing, and playing instruments. " - Kelly

About the Author
I've been writing since I was little, and themes of friendship, courage and the natural world are important to me. I enjoy tales of adventure in magical settings. My characters face themes of growing up and finding their own 'powers'. For example in The Ice Giant, which won a Purple Dragonfly Award, Elika connects with her heritage and accepts her differences. Thanks to Handersen Publishing in Lincoln, Nebraska for bringing this and other books to life.
I'm Italian-American and a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI).
Catch me on the BBC Lincolnshire Radio Storyteller program 18 Aug 2019. I have also been featured on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
