Jacqueline Wilson

From her first job as a teenager on JACKIE MAGAZINE, to being named CHILDREN’S LAUREATE in 2005 and selling more than 35 MILLION BOOKS in the UK alone, Dame Jacqueline Wilson has had a storybook career. We love her for creating the characters that entertained our children and helped them to read – but also for her support of good causes, especially in the areas of education and animal welfare. Jacqueline is a patron of BATTERSEA DOGS AND CATS HOME and is supporting its Collars and Coats Gala Ball this month. Turn to our SPOTLIGHT pages to read how one very timid rescue kitten has changed her life.
