Digger and Me

Ros Roberts’ amazing teachers encouraged her love of writing, setting her daily challenges to create poems to read to the class. She became a teacher herself; in her own classroom, free writing was a daily necessity and she felt privileged to watch the children's progress when words flowed without boundaries. Ros loves dogs – Texi, their beautiful Bernese mountain dog, inspired her debut book Digger and Me.
