Her 1998 picture book Zoo in the Sky introduces children to astronomy through an explanation of the stars and animal constellations.[3] Her 2003 book Once Upon a Starry Night introduces children to myths and facts about the solar system.
She was a county councillor for Cambridgeshire from 1989 to 1993.[citation needed]
