Biographical note
Jo was born in Southend-on-Sea in Essex, England. Even though she lived by the sea, she wasn’t a huge fan of sand. She still lives nearby with her husband, two daughters, and Ziggy Stardust the pug. A children’s illustrator all of her professional life, Jo is self-taught and works digitally. She has been a member of SCBWI since 2014. Although Jo has illustrated over forty children’s books to date, she is very proud of the fact that Bea by the Sea is her first authored book. Jo was born in Southend-on-Sea in Essex, England.

This book can be used to encourage children to overcome their fears. Like Bea, we can all expand our comfort zones by taking small steps and accepting support from those around us.
