Hello!
Welcome to my website! I'm a children's author and puppeteer. I live in Wales, near Hay-on-Wye, with my family – my youngest child is ten. I've written books which have been published all over the world, many children's plays both for myself and other companies, and given thousands of puppet performances and workshops. - Check the other pages on this site for more details.
I am planning a tour of my show “Annie and the Whale” together with puppet workshops in Mid-Wales, Powys, and Herefordshire in the Spring, so contact me if you are interested: email: patrickcooperdjs@googlemail.com or telephone: 01497 847228.
I'm also often available for talks and author visits to Primary and Secondary schools – ideally years five, six, seven and eight. My talks are versatile, entertaining and somewhat unpredictable. I usually bring a few puppets along to liven them up.
To find out more about any of my books, click on the relevant picture below - for more about puppet shows and workshops, including a short clip of a show, click PUPPETS in the menu on the left. ABOUT ME gives a bit of biography, and under STORIES I am putting new work and bits of work for free downloading – including the draft in chapters of a wholly new novel: KAI OF THE RAVENS
Feel free to write to me if you want to: My e-mail is patrickcooperdjs@googlemail.com
