Mrs Valentina Laird

Growing up in a small mountain town, I developed a deep love for nature, outdoor adventures, and creative play. With a background in Actuary, my passion for numbers, math, statistics, logical games, and chess has always been a big part of who I am. As a mother of two curious and energetic girls, I’m constantly inspired to create activities that spark imagination and reduce screen time. My goal is to provide engaging, educational, and fun content that encourages kids to think critically, explore their creativity, and enjoy hands-on learning. When I’m not designing activity books, I enjoy healthy cooking, growing my own food and preserving it. I’m also passionate about learning new skills in herbalism, permaculture, anthroposophy, and Waldorf education, which influence my approach to parenting and creativity. Through my books, I hope to share a blend of playful learning, problem-solving, and the simple joys of creativity with children and parents alike—fostering a connection to both the natural world and the wonder of discovery.
