My name is Tardy, to my friends that is. My family call me David. I am ten years old and I am never going to grow up. My favourite artist is Pablo Picasso (he's dead now) and he said: "All children are artists." My journal is actually painted all over the walls on various pieces of paper, so my story is a bit all over the place. Anyway, does it matter that the story's not in the right order? The important thing is that I have a story to tell you... Kitty Clairmont has a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree in English Literature and Language from the Open University. She has worked with many different people both young and not so young with many differing levels and talents.

Kitty writes poetry and fiction which is based on life experience. She has lived in London all her life with her family and three children and continues to try and uplift and help others through her writing.
