Born in Spain of British parents, she was raised and schooled in Spain until the age of 18, before studying Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh.

She is a founding partner of the publisher Wonder Ponder, the author of the Visual Philosophy for All Ages series, and the translator into Spanish of authors such as Maurice Sendak and John Burningham, among others.

She codirects the International Course on Philosophy, Literature, Art and Childhood (Curso Internacional de Filosofía, Literatura, Arte e Infancia -FLAI-), held annually in Albarracín (Teruel) and she is the director of Wonder Ponder Academy, an online platform offering courses on literature, philosophy and education.

Over the last fifteen years, she has been developing material to stimulate philosophical dialogue with and among children, using children’s literature and visual stimuli as prompts for discussion.

It is within the context of teaching and over the course of her experience with philosophy and children that the concept of “visual philosophy for all ages” arose. This concept and approach is now materialized in the Wonder Ponder project.

Her books are an inquiry into different ways of provoking thought and questions through literature. She plays with fiction and non-fiction, sometimes in the same book and other times separately.
