Andy Seed
I’m an author and humorist who writes books for children (and adults occasionally, if they’re well behaved). I love funny things and most of my books are a bit giggly, as you’ll find out if you read them.
Andy Seed’s Short Biography
Andy Seed is a children’s author who loves to combine facts and fun to make books which are a bit different. He is a big fan of amazing wild animals, of travelling back in time to see what ancient history was REALLY like, and of getting lost in the woods (he lives in a forest so it happens a LOT). Andy also likes cheese, jokes, sport, reading, making MASSIVE things and doing giggle-filled author visits to schools.
