In short, I am Yasemin Allsop, author, illustrator, teacher, student, mother, and a bit of everything really. I love reading, writing, walking, history, astronomy, astrology and technology. I am the author of the \u2018Alya the Pathmaker\u2019 children\u2019s book series. Recently, I published my first picture book \u2018Give the Colours Back to the Earth\u2019 in which I was both the author and the illustrator.<\/p>\n

I was born in Bursa, T\u00fcrkiye, quite a while ago. I spent most of my childhood playing hopscotch and skipping in front of our house in my little grey plastic slippers, now they are called sliders. The rest of the time I was busy reading, writing and daydreaming all somehow proved to be very useful activities.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I can\u2019t say that I was academically very bright, I had always the highest marks in literacy, history and philosophy, usually got fairly good marks in mathematics, but physics and chemistry are subjects that I never enjoyed. Maybe that is the reason I just managed to pass them. On top of this, I missed receiving a merit certificate because I failed my PE lesson, as a result of not being able to do a back flip. I wonder how many children would fail their PE because they couldn\u2019t do a backflip!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
