about the author

Educated at St. James’s boarding school in Malvern, Frances has worked in Promotions and Marketing for most of her working life in Nottingham. She loves a challenge and adventure and has completed the New York Marathon, walked part of the Great Wall of China, worked briefly in South America in an orphanage, and completed a four-month stint in a safari camp in Botswana! Married with two grown-up boys, Frances is now the proud granny to four joyous grandchildren, and reading bedtime stories has inspired Frances to write her first children’s book.

about the book

All is quiet in the dusty dark workroom belonging to the old and retired toy maker who made stuffed toys and teddy bears. That is until the dazzling full moon sends beams of bright sparkly light through the sash window onto the box of scissors resting on the workbench. All of a sudden, there is a stirring as the twinkling moonbeams hit the shiny blades of the scissors and they magically come to life.
