About me

My name is Lorraine Lloyd and I started writing stories and rhymes from a young age. Reading books with my own children was always a special part of our daily routine and after working with students from primary to college age, I decided to start writing my own. Yes I Can is my first book, coming next - ‘Don’t Say That Kelly!’, ‘A Heart So Full’ and ‘Millionaire Millie’.

Yes I Can is about Henry Betts, a boy who comes from a town where everyone is identical. He moves house and starts a new school but is bewildered when he meets students who are different to him in lots of ways.  The children are proud of their differences and show Henry that you should embrace what makes you unique.

Originally from Liverpool, I worked in several fields before studying a BSc in combined Sociology and Psychology and finding my passion in working with young people. Their honesty, curiosity and humour are a constant inspiration to me and I hope they can relate to my stories and find joy in reading.
