Claire Freedman writes award-winning picture books for children and is probably best known for the Aliens Love Underpants series of books. Claire has been a writer for 23 years and has over 100 books published.

Claire says, "I am passionate about children enjoying reading and writing, and that's why I am so supportive of the valuable work done by United World Schools. All children should be entitled to free education and UWS aims to provide children, living in even the poorest of locations throughout the world, access to a school. You really can't over-estimate the terrific difference it makes to these young lives."
