Sue Wickstead: Bus Rhymes And Playtime

Today I’m shining a spotlight on Bus Rhymes And Playtime as part of the blog tour. My post is written with thanks to Rachel Gilbey at Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me on the tour.

Blurb:

Poetry and Rhymes to sing with a bus theme.

Have you got your ticket ready?
Where shall we go today?
Why not jump on board the bus – come along to sing and play.
So take your seat as off we go.
What could happen along the way?

About the Author:

Sue Wickstead lives in West Sussex, UK and writes children’s picture story books. 

Sue’s stories are inspired by her adventures with a Playbus as well as her experiences as a teacher.

The Playbus was a real double-decker bus full of toys, arts and crafts, as well as a lot of fun to play on.

Sue wrote a photographic social history book about the project which led to her story telling and her writing. All of Sue’s books do have a bus included in them somewhere. Daisy Daydream was the bus that Sue painted and the start of her Playbus and writing journey. 

When not writing Sue builds models with Lego (especially for her grandson), she loves spending quality time with her young grandson and enjoys creating models to share with him on his visits. 

Her grandson features in the book ‘Barty Barton; the bear that was loved too much’ which was published in 2020. He also helps his Nanny Sue to sing along with a few of the rhymes sue has written.

Many of Sue’s books have been entered and shortlisted in ‘The Wishing Shelf Book Awards’, the book ‘A Spooky Tale’ was a silver medal winner in 2019. The story was written with her class in school.

Bus Rhymes And Playtime is available from Amazon.
