"Model the muddle, be proud of the blooper, make a mistake and say ‘wow that was super!’

This darling catastrophe is a crazy delight, good golly, I’m glad that it didn’t go right.

It’s fantastically awful – an amazing disaster. 

Fetch her a sticker and maybe a plaster."


These wise words from Chomp Plodder have helped Quirky Bird and Friends be brave enough to share their stories.


Filled with colour and kindness, this collection of short stories is created to inspire children to be their most wonderful, brightest, creative selves.

Diane loves being in nature and with animals, as both nourish and inspire her creative work.

The stories from Quirky Bird and Friends were created with children, when Diane worked therapeutically in hospitals.

    I have finished reading Quirky Bird and friends. I think you achieved something by focusing on diversity from different points of views. There’s a sense of different feelings - bravery, isolation, team work, bullying and being proud. This is great way of delivering a message to children to better understand the nature of diversity and the situations children can find themselves in.

    The book is also fun, creative and poetic, and rhyming. Well done !

    What a wonderful book this is. It's fun to read, but carries an important message throughout - that it's ok to be who you are and that we all deserve to sparkle and shine.
