Meet Christine Marrington and Rachel Rodrigues, Self-published Author and Illustrator.
Christine Marrington
I have been writing stories and poems for my grandchildren as they were growing up in the 1990’s. This particular story came about after they insisted on me ‘telling’ them a story at bedtime. It sat in a draw for a long time until I met Rachel, who’s wonderful illustrations have brought this story to life.
Rachel Rodrigues
Meeting Christine was a chance encounter. I never expected to be asked to do illustrations for a children’s book. I have always enjoyed painting, and water colour has always been my favourite. I paint as a hobby and for friends. So, we met and shared our work and experiences, and soon became friends. The story of the Woodpecker is so beautifully written by Christine, it inspired me to paint the images you see today.

The staff at Saronti have been fantastic from start to finish. We are an international school based in Qatar, so we had an extra layer of requirements. Saronti always responded to questions... and supported us throughout the whole process. I highly recommend them; we will use them again next school year. Thank you.read more

Saronti are amazing. They held our hands all the way through the process of creating a fundraising cookbook, which was new for us, and made it so simple. They were patient and helpful when... we got stuck and delayed. And the finished product was lovely - everyone was delighted with it and we sold every single copy!I can’t thank them enough!read more
