Josie Dom Children'S Author

Welcome to the world of Josie Dom. This is where I'll be sharing updates on all the books I write and publish.
As well as writing and publishing my own books, I also go into primary schools to provide Storytelling Workshops.

Once upon a time, Josie Dom had a baby boy. In time he was followed by a baby girl.
Baby girl and little boy
Like to push and pull the toy
Backwards, forwards, to and fro
Watch out baby he'll let go!
From this modest rhyme, I was inspired by my children and their antics to put pen to paper and create rhymes and stories for their entertainment. I am a naturally shy person and don't like to share my stories or even believe in my own abilities. That was until Lum came into being! He was born from my imagination following a period of bullying and also started with a rhyme:
Fee Fi Fo Fum
Here comes a hungry Lum
If there's any kids not doing what they're told
Lum will eat them before they're old!
But don't worry he's not as scary as he likes to pretend, and the children in the book help him to mend his ways. I then persuaded my husband, Nic Phine, to create illustrations and together we published their first book in 2016.

In 2018 I launched a Storytelling Workshop for KS1 and KS2 children in schools. The aim of the workshops is to help children access their own imaginations using every day objects. The focus is on imagination, storytelling and not on writing.
