Helen Peters vangt de betoverende sfeer van een jeugd op een traditionele boerderij, rijk aan fantasierijk spel en theatrale optredens die ze met vrienden opvoerde. Na een carrière als docent Engels en drama vond ze haar roeping in het schrijven van kinderboeken, geïnspireerd door de boeken die ze als kind geweldig vond. Deze passie voor verhalen vertellen, van jongs af aan gekoesterd, drijft nu haar werk terwijl ze verhalen creëert die bedoeld zijn om jonge lezers te boeien. Ze omarmt haar identiteit als schrijver met vreugde en verwondering.
