Colette Hiller

Colette Hiller is a writer, arts producer, and author of the critically acclaimed poetry books The B on Your Thumb and Colossal Words for Kids. She spent many years as an actress on the London stage. Her children’s rhymes have been featured on BBC Words and Pictures, and her children’s album, Applehead, has been a hit with kids across the world, selling over 50,000 copies. Her city-wide cultural projects (like London Street Pianos and Talking Statues) have been produced across the world. An advocate of early learning, she spent many years as a producer at BBC Education. She believes that children are natural wordsmiths, receptive to the fun of wordplay: Give them some good words, and they’ll put them to good use. She splits her time between London and New York.
