Open books = open minds

About the author

Hello, my name is Claudia Disney. I created Daffodil Books in 2017 as a home for the children’s books I want to create.  I have always had a passion for cartoons and writing, and yes my surname really IS Disney (not related to Walt, in case you wondered).

I am the author as well as illustrator of my books. My first book Q The Friendly Earthquake Giant was published in 2017.  This book was created to help little ones deal with their fear of earthquakes, and has proven to be quite popular.

My second book How To Wash Your Cat was published in July 2018.  The idea of this book came from a friend who washed her cat one weekend, and afterwards complained how unwilling the cat was. No surprises there.

I live in Wellington, New Zealand with my husband and a few cats.  During the week I run a private gym, and to make sure I stay fit myself I dabble in kickboxing and brazilian jiu-jitsu.
