About the author
With a background in education, I noticed a lack of children's books that explore the wide range of careers available. Children often dream of being astronauts, doctors, or lawyers—roles that can be difficult to access. I wanted to show kids from all backgrounds that there are many exciting, meaningful jobs out there, and that it’s important to find joy and passion in what you do.
Hello! I'm Sophie - thanks for stopping by.
That’s how Gugglewump was born—a fun, diverse character who represents curiosity, joy, and inclusion. The book came to life during my recovery from a serious road traffic accident. Forced to take time off work, I found purpose in publishing this story. It became a positive focus during a difficult time, and creating something meaningful from that experience has been incredibly rewarding. This is just the beginning of Gugglewump’s journey to explore the world of work—and I hope you’ll come along for the adventure!
How did Gugglewump begin?
