Hi! I wanted to let you know more about our books. Some are published, some are in progress, but they’re all related to one theme.
Our books are created to encourage families to spend time together, and writing them enables me to combine the things I am passionate about – writing, spending time with family, and travelling.
In 2021, Lola and I are working on several books which we are writing and illustrating together. We use our every day experiences to create stories, and we hope we can inspire other families to do the same. The collection of books will grow as Lola does, and you as a reader can join us for the ride!
With the children’s books, the aim is education made fun; I really want to get children excited about the arts as soon as I can. This means starting them young!
In addition, once I’m able to I will be writing a sequel to Clancy Goes to France. I plan to take one of the routes I talked about with my father, and once again we’ll be in the old, reliable Peugeot.
Our Vision
Let’s keep this simple, there are two things we’d love to achieve.
- To lead by example, showing the importance of communication, listening and being together.
- To inspire families to share valuable time together learning and growing, making the most of the world around us.
Our Children’s Books
The first series are child sized adventures relating to our 3,000 mile road trip in France with the stories relating to chapters of my memoir, Clancy Goes to France . In my mind, I’d love to see parents and grandparents reading my memoir as well as enjoying reading the children’s books with their little ones. The aim is to create a bundle of stories for the whole family.
So far in the Travels with Lola series we have published An Aqueduct Adventure which is a fun account of a day out in Pont du Gard. The book includes my photos and Lola’s illustrations and she also designed the cover!
At her request, the children’s books are backpack size, perfect for little travellers.
Clancy Goes to France
This memoir is the book I wrote to celebrate my father's life and his passion for driving in France.
Although a travel memoir, there is a strong underlying theme of appreciating the time we have with our loved ones.
