A Belfast mum took the plunge to follow her dream of writing a children's book during lockdown, and is encouraging others to pursue their passions too.
Emma Herdman used free time during the pandemic to write and illustrate a children's picture book titled The Lonely Pea, which was published last month.
The mum-of-two said the idea developed from a story she would tell her own children after cleaning up peas that would be dropped to the floor during dinner time.
