Daniel Williamson was born in Perivale, London 28th April 1979. After 13 years in the capital, he earned a scholarship to Bembridge Private School on the Isle of Wight, largely due to his advanced English writing skills.
During his teenage years, he participated in the school productions, band and choir and also the South Wight Youth Theatre amateur dramatic society. He was involved in productions such as Carmina Burana, Hiawatha, Peanuts and Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dream Coat.
After attending Nottingham Trent University 1998-2002 much of his time was spent traveling the globe, even visiting Wonders of the World such as Christ the Redeemer, The Taj Mahal and The Great Wall of China.
After the birth of his daughter Carmela in 2014 his passion for writing was re-ignited and after a brief spell of script writing he turned his attention to children's stories due to the inspiration he gained from his mother Jacqueline's Montessori nursery and his own volunteer work at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
His current titles include the 'Look at me I'm learning' series which focuses on teaching young children the basics of a new language through colorful picture books. Currently, languages include French, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese Mandarin and Brazilian Portuguese. Half of the 'Look at me I'm Learning' series has also been reverse translated to 'Look at me I'm Learning English' starting in French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese to help children from all over the world learn how to speak English with the aid of these educational, bilingual picture books!
After completing his bilingual picture book series (for now) Daniel turned his attention to his original passion - rhyming picture book stories. The first of which is a very humorous and original story called 'The Bee that made Jam' which is about daring to be different in a world where it's expected that everything stays the same - watch out for Old Queen Bee!!!
His next original picture book story is 'T-Rex Twins: The Brothers with Arms.' A unique look at how being born different can be your biggest strength. At first, the twins struggle to fit in and are even mocked by the other dinosaurs, after all, T-Rexes don't have long arms! But before long the unusual twins are able to help other dinosaurs and learn to comfort each other by inventing the world's first hug. Happily, this leads them to friends and popularity once the word gets out!
