We are a writer / illustrator duo creating lovely books and creative projects for little explorers…
We strongly believe that reading, art and creativity make the world a better place…
…And so, combining our backgrounds in poetry and fine art - along with our extensive experience in production, publishing and community projects - we decided to launch Doodles & Scribbles in 2017 to create exciting creative projects and beautiful children’s books.
You can take a look at our children’s book portfolio here! We have launched three successful titles, and most recently we have published a new paperback edition of We Are Family to wonderful reviews.
WE LOVE TO WORK on a variety of doodly and scribbly projects and events - from bespoke books and creative projects, to fun events and educational workshops - everything we do is designed to inspire children and families through creativity and the natural world… take a look at what we’ve been up to, and how we might be able to work with you here.
A little bit more about Lucy and Jenna…
Lucy Reynolds (author) writes from her home in Surrey but grew up on a farm in Somerset, developing her love of nature roaming free in the great outdoors. Lucy’s fascination with all things wild drew her to study two great noticers of nature, Thomas Hardy and G.M. Hopkins, for her PhD in Poetry read at Oxford University. Through a decade in thought leadership and consultancy, and whilst continuing to project managing inspirational community programmes, Lucy has remained true to her first love: the written and spoken word. Lucy has a warm, empathetic teaching style that creates a natural connection with children from all walks of life.
Jenna Herman (illustrator) doodles from her home in Frome, Somerset, but grew up in The Potteries in Staffordshire. This is where she fostered creativity from a young age drawing and painting, and photographing her toy Trolls and Sylvanian Families amongst the flowers in her garden. Always passionate about art and photography, Jenna went on to pursue a degree in Fine Art and career in photoshoot production and magazine publishing before returning to art and becoming a designer and illustrator. Jenna’s children’s book illustrations are inspired by the beauty of nature all around us; using details from leaves, flowers and insects to create pattern.
