As an art teacher he was, for 15 years, Principal Lecturer in Art and Design at the Metropolitan University of Manchester. As an author of language teachers’ resource books, he has published two other books in this series: Storytelling with Children and Creating Stories with Children. As a storyteller, story-maker, and book-maker, in the last eight years he has worked in ten countries with over 40,000 children. As a language teacher trainer he has worked in 30 countries, and was the founder of the IATEFL Young Learners Special Interest Group.
