Blackpool here we come! We’ve had a few journeys in the electric buzz over the last few days - Cotswolds to Norfolk to Grimsby and now to Blackpool charging up along the way and seeing the most beautiful countryside too.
I’m so looking forward to the tonight where I’m a finalist for Best Sustainable Business - the last 6 years have been a journey and I’m really proud of all I’ve achieved no matter the outcome. From a completely self-funded business started with very little budget (basically whatever I had in my bank account!), with little sustainability knowledge and zero business expertise I’ve built something which goes beyond all of that - I’m building a legacy, with people and planet at the heart of everything. I can’t wait to share the evening with likeminded people all creating something special in their field and celebrate our collective achievements 🙌🏻

When we connect to nature, magical things happen, our minds and bodies can feel relaxed, calm and helps to regulate our emotions. Learning how to connect to the world around us, especially the natural world is something so important for our well being. “Evidence shows that a thriving, wildlife-rich environment benefits both physical and mental health. People with nature on their doorstep are more active, mentally resilient and have better all-round health.” The Wildlife Trusts

Developing a connection to the natural world, starts small, it starts with our littlest people, getting outdoors and into green spaces, observing the world around them, using their senses to explore and connect. Developing this understanding and connection through activities, toys and stories to expand their knowledge and feed their curiosity.

Connecting to nature is a beautiful thing 🍁

Our bereavement book campaign is about getting our childhood bereavement book ‘About Hedgehog’ into schools to support the new RSHE grief and bereavement curriculum. We know the power of books in helping children understand the world around them and grief is no different. A gentle book, using the right language for young children to support them in developing an understanding of death and dying.

It is estimated that 127 children are bereaved every day in the UK, children who need support and to feel less alone. By opening up conversations around death with all children, we can help them to process what it means before, during and after bereavement.

Through the books we donate a percentage of sales to child bereavement charities.

We have already begun sending books to schools as part of the campaign, so if you would like to get involved, maybe you have a school in mind or you would just like to donate, then get in touch with us [email protected] to find out more.

Do you ever think about what your legacy will be? If you’re an over thinker like me you’ll have given it some thought, most likely when you should be sleeping but your brain has other ideas! I want to help the next generation to learn about the world around them and each other. With kindness, curiosity, empathy, connection and togetherness, throw in a little bit of fun too and that’s a recipe for a generation of people who can do great things.

A special festive book that will have your little ones captivated by the beautiful illustrations and a gentle environmental message about our natural world and how we can all help take care of it. Winning SILVER at the Junior Design Awards 2025 is a huge honour, especially to see us in amongst all the regular published books when we self-publish ours. Thank you so much to the team Junior Magazine and for such wonderful feedback.
My books wouldn’t exist without the wonderful humans who help me make them and create them, all done with sustainability and the planet in mind:
Anna Thistlemoon
Tash Culpepper & Co
Andy Tewkesbury Printing Co LTD
We’re about to do it all again in the making of our fifth book together. Wow ✨

So excited to announce that I’m a FINALIST in the Female Business Awards 2025 in the Sustainability/Planet Friendly Business category! Really looking forward to celebrating with all the other finalists in November 🙌🏻
It always feels a little emotional to make it through the judging, as what I do means so much to me. It’s also wonderful to support and celebrate all the other female founders doing great things 🥂
Now just to decide which dress to wear - preloved obviously 👗

When one national campaign isn’t quite enough I’m launching a second campaign. I was going to wait until next year when I’d got the books for libraries campaign nearer completion but it feels like now is the right time to launch our bereavement book campaign. Aiming to get a copy of our book ‘About Hedgehog’ into every state primary school in the country, I really want to do something more to support children with bereavement and to help teachers with the tools to do this. With bereavement/grief education included in the curriculum for the first time it feels like now is the time to get this campaign underway and to do our bit to help.

We’re aiming on working with our business partners across the country to get books into schools, plus we’ll be donating the postage costs, lesson plan packs and 10% of all book sales will go to bereavement charities, including who helped advise on the book.

There are different ways to run a business, mine is led by the heart and with purpose.

Want to get involved? Get in touch with us via social media, our website or via email.

A little throw back to when I first became an author. The first pictures are of my first book proof sign off! It was never in my plans to write books but when I was little I loved reading, books have always been a big part of my life and have helped me understand the world and myself better. When I was teaching I started writing, just ideas at first and then draft books. I didn’t know what to do with them! When I set Eco-Able up I wrote ‘Away’ and had luckily met Anna who is an illustrator. When Covid hit we started working on the book and the rest as they say is history! I kept the illustrations black and white, because that really worked for my neurodiverse brain and children loved it too! I think the choice of colour helps the illustrations and messaging shine. I worked with Tash to create the book layouts and text and add a sprinkle of magic, to make sure the books were ready for printing. I was careful about how the books were made as I didn’t want plastic coating for environmental reasons, working with Andy enabled me to make the books as environmentally friendly as possible. I’ve never regretted my decision to go for it and with my 5th book coming soon I’m really proud to call myself an author 🖤

A sneak peak at one of our new book illustrations! I’m so excited to announce that my next book is coming soon, once I have an estimated publication date I’ll let you know. This book is a really special one as it’s the first book I ever wrote and I wrote it back when I was teaching, inspired by the lovely children I worked with. I can’t wait to see it as a proper book! The page illustrations are complete and next we’ll work on the covers and layout - I love this stage of working on the book, as the individual elements start to come together to create the actual book. Watch this space as I’ll have more news on it soon!
