The illustrator

Geoff Stribley

Geoff has always loved drawing and began illustrating when he left school.

In 1990, Geoff became a freelance illustrator and gradually built a regular client base. More than three decades later, he still works with some of the clients who have been with him since those early years.

A traditional illustrator with a love of caricature, Geoff has developed a niche in character design, illustration and caricature. Geoff has helped bring Christine’s children’s book characters and their stories to life.

Peg Flandreau West

I would like to acknowledge and honour the creator of the original Protective Behaviours (PB) program manual, Peg Flandreau West (1928-1991) who was a school social worker from Madison, Wisconsin. 

The Protective Behaviours stories and activities in my children’s books and digital resources draw on the themes, core concepts and strategies of Peg Flandreau West’s original work and have been adapted and expanded to support personal body safety and social and emotional learning.

And the PB journey continues…
