I write children’s books about inclusion, diversity and acceptance.
I believe in the importance of equality and unity.

Allow me to introduce myself
My names Andrea Bowker and I’m the author/illustrator and publisher of the “Rab the Rainbow Crab” book series.
Having been a graphic designer for most of my life, I've identified, that as far as children’s diversity books are concerned, there seems to be a gap in resources. So I set upon creating diversity books aimed at children aged 3-7 years – Key stage one and EYFS. These books are to be used as a talking tool to start off a conversation with a child.
