Paul has spent 20 years working with children of all ages and abilities in schools, libraries and festivals all over the UK and abroad, giving inspiring talks, drawing and pop up book workshops, engaging and empowering children with his energy and enthusiasm. He lives in a world of colourful characters and creatures, from diggers to dinosaurs, bears to bugs and he loves to share this with children through the medium of children's books and pop up paper.
Inspired by his artist and illustrator grandfather, Geoffrey Squire, and his very creative parents, Paul has always loved working with children. He lives in Sherborne, Dorset, with his bookseller and musician wife, Helen, their daughter Tabitha and a selection of Paul's five creative and musical sons.
