Writing children's stories has been a hobby of mine for decades. I absolutely love the joy and fun that these stories have brought to thousands of children. I aim to use my writing to inspire, encourage and empower children to know that they are all unique and special in their own way!

About Tim Bailie
This is the where I’m supposed to tell you all about myself. Things like where I live, if I’m married, if I have any children, if I own a pet and if I’m as handsome as everyone says I am. What I’d rather do, however, is tell you the one thing you really need to know about me… I love books!

“There is an increasing need to give children as many opportunities as possible to better understand their place in the world alongside the rich diversity of other people. Tim's resources provide an engaging way into some of the challenging topics of poverty, disability and diversity, supporting teachers and parents in helping children see that our differences add richness, depth and value.”

Director of the National Association of Headteachers in Northern Ireland
“Tim Bailie has visited Moyle Primary School and Nursery Unit on a number of occasions working with all ages of children. From the Nursery pupils through to the P7s Tim not only had his excellent books to read but he made them come alive with his delivery and the extra touches he added to his story telling, with suitable adjustments for each age range. From the youngest child to the oldest the stories came alive and were memorable. Each story has a message with strong PDMU links. We highly recommend Tim to your school and your pupils, you will not be disappointed.”

Principal, Moyle Primary School and Nursery Unit
“Tim is a regular visitor to Groggan Primary School, He writes stories that tackle subjects which can often be difficult to discuss with children and he does this beautifully. The ‘Six Legged Spider’ teaches the children that difference doesn’t matter, and can often be a gift. The Mouse and the Moon Rocket is a lovely story all about a hungry mouse trying to feed his family. Tim’s beautifully illustrated books are loved by our pupils and his visits are a highlight in our school calendar. He engages the children with his stories and gets them excited about reading and writing.”
