Welcome to the World of Engaging Children’s Books
by Andrew Cui Edwards!
Hi there! I’m Andrew – a primary school teacher, children’s book illustrator, and, most importantly, someone who absolutely loves telling stories that capture the imagination of kids. With over ten years of experience working with children in the UK and across Eastern Asia, I’ve had the privilege of learning what really excites young minds – and how to make books that both children and parents will enjoy together.


My stories are filled with colorful characters, exciting adventures, and real-life lessons that kids can relate to. Whether it’s learning how to face a challenge or discovering a creative solution to a problem, each book is crafted to spark creativity and inspire a love of reading. I believe in stories that not only entertain but also help kids build empathy, resilience, and problem-solving skills – perfect for parents looking for books that nurture both imagination and character.
As a teacher and rugby coach, I’ve spent years connecting with children from all walks of life. I draw from these experiences, as well as my travels through Eastern Asia, to bring diverse perspectives and cultures into my stories. Every book I create is a little adventure in itself, blending the magic of storytelling with lessons that are meaningful and memorable.
I hope my stories bring as much joy to you and your family as they’ve brought to me while writing them. Thanks for stopping by – I’m excited for you to dive into my books!
