About the Author

Susie Archibald is the creative mind behind The Adventures of Tommy Tip-Toe, a charming book series that invites young readers into heartwarming, imaginative worlds. Her stories gently teach children about kindness, courage, and caring for the world around them.

With her gift for storytelling, Susie introduces unforgettable characters: Tommy Tip-Toe, a tiny mouse with a big heart; Saruga, the “strange creature with lots of big arms”; and Bernie Beluga, who finds herself trapped in rope. These characters are brought vividly to life through the inspirational, colourful illustrations of Gavin Walker, whose artwork draws children in from cover to cover. Together, they inspire young readers to believe in the power of friendship and the importance of doing good.

The first book, Tommy Tip-Toe Saves Bernie Beluga, blends playful rhymes with meaningful lessons about compassion and helping others. The adventure continues in Book Two, where readers will meet Wifflesnook, a Recycling Hero who joins Tommy on his mission to protect the planet. Looking ahead to 2026, further titles in the series include Tommy Tip-Toe and the Blue-Bottom Bee and Tommy Tip-Toe Saves Myrtle the Turtle.

Through these stories, Susie hopes to spark curiosity, laughter, and eco-friendly values in every child—making reading not only fun but deeply meaningful. Gavin Walker’s delightful illustrations add a vibrant touch, ensuring each book is a joyful journey of discovery
