Zijn opvoeding te midden van de diverse dierenwereld en uitgestrekte tuinen van Kenia gaf hem een diepe liefde voor dieren en de bush. Deze diepe verbinding voedt zijn verhalen voor kinderen, waarin hij zijn fascinatie voor de natuurlijke wereld omzet in boeiende vertellingen. Geïnspireerd door levendige artistieke expressie, creëert Hobson verhalen die jonge lezers moeten boeien met de wonderen van het dierenrijk.
