‘Shirley Murley’ is about a little girl who lives a rhyming life with her parents and friends in Burnley. She has curly hair and is never late, she is an always-early, curly, Shirley from Burnley. Publishers Austin Macauley have put the book on sale online, including from Amazon, WHSmith and Waterstones.

“Whether starting out as a new reader and beginning to enjoy reading on your own, or reading together and sharing a book during storytime, it will always make you smile,” said Su, from Hertfordshire.
