Gabby Dawnay

Gabby is a children’s writer, screenwriter, poet and occasional illustrator. She’s written numerous picture books, including the bestselling ’If I had a…’ series, and has been 'poet-in-residence' for award-winning children’s art and science magazine, ‘OKIDO’ since 2007. She co-adapted the magazine for children's television, where it became the hit CBeebies animated preschool show: ‘Messy goes to OKIDO!' Gabby's books often rhyme, but not always. Her mission lies in converting science and nature facts into entertaining (and possibly rhyming) stories for kids of all ages.
