About the Author

Will Hamilton-Davies is a Bristol-based Children's Author and Poet, whose house was more like a village, growing up (Will is one of SIX siblings!). An exciting new voice on the children’s picture book scene, Will’s writing is filled with warmth, wisdom and a playful sense of adventure. His stories champion confidence, curiosity, and courage – empowering young readers to speak up, stand out, and embrace the world around them. It was while reading bedtime stories to his youngest siblings that Will first fell in love with picture books. Inspired by their magic and encouraged to write one of his own, he began crafting what would become his debut story, The Shrew with the Flu. A testament to his ambition and belief, Will crowdfunded and self-published The Shrew with the Flu, which has now sold over 5,000 copies in the UK alone. Will's lyrical, read-aloud writing has resonated with children, parents, and educators alike. Will has performed at hundreds of schools and festivals, presented awards for the Bristol Young Heroes, and supported charities helping improve the lives of children and families.
