Welcome

Hi, I'm Rachel Rooney- a poet, story writer, picture book writer and teacher. Welcome to my website

Here you will find details of past and future publications and projects, samples of my poetry, information on school workshops and contact details.

My solo collection The Language of Cat was published in May 2011 by Frances Lincoln and has received this lovely endorsement.

‘Rachel Rooney's poetry collection for children is a well-crafted,

stimulating and un-patronising box of delights, always accessible and

constantly inventive.’ Carol Ann Duffy
