Barry Timms is an award-winning storyteller and enjoys the way that books bring people together. He has written over ten books for children, including This is NOT a Unicorn!, which won the 2022 Stockport Children's Book Award. He has worked as an editor in children's publishing for over 20 years. Barry grew up in the rolling, rugged Cornish landscape but now lives by an old water tower in South London and is a city boy at heart. He can often be found with pencil in hand, writing or drawing or both. Most exciting of all is putting words and images together, and the surprising results that can happen. Barry likes road movies, ghost trains and exploring forgotten side streets.
