About Sue Wickstead

​

I am a teacher and an author and have currently written six children’s picture books with a bus theme.

For over 20 years, alongside my teaching career, I worked with a Children’s Charity, The Bewbush Playbus Association, which led me to write a photographic history book about it.

​

I soon found that many children had never been on a bus before, let alone a ‘Playbus’ and they wanted to know more. I decided to write a fictional tale about the bus, his number plate JJK261 gave him his name.

​

‘Jay-Jay the Supersonic Bus,’ came out in print in 2014. It is the story behind the original bus and is his journey from a scrap-yard to being changed into a playbus for children to play in. From Fact to fiction the bus journey continued.

​

This story has now been followed by five more picture books.

​

I also undertake events and author bookings and love to share the story. There are also a few more stories in the writing process, with links to real events and buses.

​

The story has been read in many schools in the south-East of England, where I teach as a cover teacher, it is always well received and certainly different.
