Acknowledgements

I love you Jerry, Holly, Josh and Ben. Thank you for welcoming Arty into our family. You are the very best team I could ever wish for, and thanks to you I am making this dream come true.

Simon, you are a brilliant, creative and inspirational artist. You are a true friend. Your strength and humour have kept me going in the maze. Thank you, Phill, for bringing Simon’s wonderful illustrations to life in such a colourful, vibrant and imaginative way.

Gill, Elaine, Sarah, Tree, Tom T, Tom S, Kate, Becky, Matt, Bernadette, Iara, Nancy and Leonora – thanks for joining “Team Arty” and sharing your time, energy, enthusiasm, professional expertise and fantastic ideas.

I am indebted to Claire Purcell and everyone at Dulwich Hamlet Junior School who has made Arty possible.

With a very special thank you to Joshua, Jason, Anna, Leonora, Mimmo, Hettie, Alexei, Rocco, Freya, Ava Mae, Nancy H, Adam, Nancy R, Greta and Emily who are sharing their own Super Coach drawings with us in this book.

With thanks to all the children it has been my privilege to coach over the years. You have all taught me so much. This book is packed full of your brilliant and practical ideas. You are the real experts. You have all played an important part in the creative process and helped Arty to develop and grow.

Super Coach Arty is only here because of my editor, James Cherry at Jessica Kingsley Publishers. Thanks for your vision, James, and for believing in Arty. It’s been good fun working with you and I appreciate the support, advice and expertise that you have given me at every step of our journey.
