Daniel Thompson is an award-winning UK children's author and poet whose books celebrate imagination, empathy and big feelings in little people. He has written picture books for HarperCollins Children's Books including Being You, Outside In and All of Me, and titles for Collins Big Cat such as Escape Room and Giraffe in Space.
