About the author
Angharad Davies lives in south Wales with her husband and two sons (7 and 5). After witnessing the magic of story in her own children for nurturing emotional intelligence, growth mindset and resilience, she decided to write her own.
Combining her knowledge from postgraduate qualifications in Psychology and Play Therapy with her children's love for humorous reads, Bowly McLight was born.
Witnessing her children's enthusiasm and involvement in her first three books, Angharad knew that more children needed to experience the behind-the-scenes of book creation. She is thrilled to now be making her books alongside families and schools across the UK - sharing this magic with hundreds of children.
