Anne-Marie Mugwe makes her debut as an author with Cobjay’s Summer Holiday and How (Not) to Catch a Squirrel—a delightful and imaginative tale crafted to spark curiosity and laughter in young readers around the world.

A natural storyteller with a deep-rooted passion for children’s literature, Anne-Marie’s journey into writing was born from everyday moments. After long and busy days at work, she often found herself inspired during her commutes home on the London Underground. It was in these quiet intervals of reflection that the seeds of her stories first began to take shape. What began as fleeting ideas soon blossomed into short, engaging tales that she would share with young children.

The joy, laughter, and wonder expressed by her young listeners served as a powerful motivator, affirming the meaningful connection her stories fostered. Encouraged by their enthusiastic responses, Anne-Marie was inspired to bring her storytelling to life in book form—pairing her vibrant narratives with charming illustrations to create a work that children and parents alike could enjoy.

Through Cobjay’s Summer Holiday and How (Not) to Catch a Squirrel, Anne-Marie hopes to ignite the imaginations of young readers everywhere, offering them not only entertainment, but also a joyful reading experience that lingers long after the final page is turned.
