Maggie Kindred was brought up in Northumberland, England, and lives in France with her husband, Michael, who is an inventor of educational and social games. Her daughter Cath, has illustrated one her books. Her career took her through teaching, social work and practice teaching. As an educator she found it sad that students only read enough to complete their academic assignments, so became passionate about making social work theories come alive for them. She particularly enjoys working with students who may be new to adult education, have learning or mental health difficulties, or have had bad experiences in the classroom. As a white, heterosexual, able-bodied woman, she tries to make sure that people's attention is drawn to other perspectives in her materials. She believes that learning should be fun, and can make all kinds of everyday experiences more interesting and rewarding. She has published over a dozen books. See less
