Day in the life of a 10 year old author, Kadii Hamilton: Travelling, Interviews and the Gruffalo!

Being a 10 year old author is not your typical childhood experience! From travelling to book events, doing interviews and still finding time for fun — here's what a day in Kadii's life looks like.

Morning: Getting Ready

The day starts early when there's an event to attend. Kadii makes sure she has copies of her book packed, her best outfit ready, and most importantly — a good breakfast to fuel the day ahead!

On the Road: Travelling to Events

Whether it's a book signing, a school visit or a media interview, Kadii takes every opportunity in her stride. The car journeys are filled with planning, practising what she'll say, and of course — snacks!

The Gruffalo Connection

One of the most exciting parts of Kadii's journey has been meeting other authors and learning about their creative processes. The Gruffalo has always been a favourite in our household, and discovering the story behind how it was written inspired Kadii to keep pushing forward with her own writing.

Evening: Reflecting on the Day

At the end of a busy day, Kadii loves to sit down and reflect on what she's learned. She writes in her journal, plans her next steps, and dreams about all the books she still wants to write. Being a young author is hard work — but Kadii wouldn't have it any other way!
