Sophie Jones-Tinsley's books
Gugglewump: A day in the life of an archaeologist
A charmingly illustrated children's book focusing on a gender-neutral, multi-coloured creature exploring a potential career whilst learning key vocabulary and skills along the way. The book aims to: Highlight job roles that do not get a lot of coverage. Combat the societal idea that some jobs are for men and some are for women. Improve representation of non-binary characters in children's non-fiction books. Teach children about career-specific skills and vocabulary. Fans of The Gruffalo and Mr Benn will love this modern and educational take on different careers one can do.
