About the Author

Amanda Ware has spent the last twenty years involved with children, as both a stay-at-home mum and as a Primary School Teacher. Since being a child, she has always had an overwhelming passion for both the development of young children and for writing. "Please can you put your shoes on?" was inspired by her own children, especially her mischievous youngest, and her experience of working with Early Years pupils in both Salford and Trafford. She has always been interested in writing poetry and short stories and has been blessed with a vivid imagination! She currently lives in Manchester with her husband, Dale and three children Willem, Marcus and Chloe. She is continuing to be a supply teacher but her main focus is to carry on writing and fulfil her childhood dream of being an author. She is thrilled to be introducing her book and already planning further stories, to the delight of her young audience.
