Katie Faulkner

Katie is a physiotherapist specialising in supporting people living with dementia. She had no experience of being an author but during lockdown she noticed a need for a book which can be used to help children understand dementia. Katie was able to draw on her personal and professional experience in this area to create a book which is not only lovingly written, but inclusive for the diverse range of age, gender and culture of the people affected by this condition. 

When not working, Katie spends most of her time with her animals, including a one-eyed street dog from Romania and her fluffy chickens, and growing veg in her allotment.
