She has worked on many books, including the popular "Amazing Baby" series (Templar Publishing). The first book she wrote and illustrated herself, "What Pet to Get?" (Templar Publishing) was shortlisted for the 2006 Early Years Awards. Emma has also illustrated two previous titles in the PULL-OUT PALS series, selling over 80,000 copies worldwide!
