Sade Fadipe is a Children's author and a UK-based teacher who has taught in primary schools in London and Essex. From 2006-2010, she worked in Abuja, Nigeria, on a Federal Government Reading Initiative for the public-school sector.  There, she trained teachers on the use of fiction, picture books and attracted funding to create class-based reading corners, to enhance early reading. In the process, she realised the urgent need for indigenous picture books. Sade currently lives and teaches in Essex, and is happily married with two daughters: her constant inspiration.
