Jo Hanks Author

Jo Hanks writes fiction and non-fiction books for children of all ages. She has a particular love of non-fiction and has written about big topics like the environment, dinosaurs, global history, ancient history, the supernatural (agreed, some might say that’s not strictly non-fiction…); and arguably smaller subjects like shapes, colours, sizes and fluffy bunnies. Writing non-fiction is really just an excuse for her to spend days reading about very interesting things. Her fiction writing includes picture books, board books, fairytales, ancient myths and more fluffy bunnies.
