During the lockdown, some friends of mine were telling me that they were finding it hard to explain to their kids why they couldn’t go to the park or have any play dates. 

So I got to thinking, how can we make this easier for them?! 

I had various ideas, but then suddenly....  Reggie the Rhino was born. 

I started writing a poem about a mischievous Rhino who wanted to escape from the zoo because he was bored. 

It turned out, people thought it was so good, they suggested I should get it illustrated. 

I found a fantastic illustrator named Carmel Ward and we decided to put Reggie out there in the digital world for all to see. 

Mums, dads and children could then read this beautiful rhyming story about Reggie the Rhino, by clicking on the picture gallery at the top of this page, and this will explain to everybody as to how and why to keep safe from covid 19. 

This is a completely non profit idea. But if people like it, we have a just giving page set up at the end of the story, so people can donate a few pennies to help the NHS buy more PPE that they so desperately need; specifically in this case, the East of England Ambulance Service. 

All money raised will go directly to them. 

So in these difficult times, please help keep Reggie charging around the online world, by liking and sharing the story. 

Then hopefully all children will have something to enjoy forever.
