Tarnelia Matthews is a British Caribbean author, living in London.

Tarnelia spent a couple of years working within primary school education. It was here that she got to exercise her story telling, using her quirky imagination to bring a little light and laughter to children.

A few years later, Tarnelia qualified as an Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor with a desire to combine her passion for mental health, writing and children's literature through books showcasing diversity and mental wellbeing.

Tarnelia writes both fiction and nonfiction material and seeks to combine both the imaginative and therapeutic elements of her work to create engaging stories for children to relate to and learn from.
