David Bedford trained as a biologist and was a scientific researcher until his love of reading, then writing, set him along the path to becoming an author. David has had 85 books traditionally published, which have been translated worldwide in 35 languages. They include the much-loved bestselling picture-book Big Bear Little Bear, and The Team series of football (soccer) fiction for juniors. He has taught creativity, literacy and author techniques in schools around the world for ten years, and now likes nothing better than to combine his writing and teaching in his new personal publishing venture, ME & YOU BOOKS – where readers write!
