About the Author

Jamie Stott believes her life has been enriched by playing sport. She grew up loving stories, animals and the magic of being part of a team. She believes every child deserves to chase big dreams, even if they feel a little different from everyone else. When she isn’t writing, Jamie can be found umpiring and playing field hockey, playing baseball, streaming on TikTok or throwing the frisbee for her dog, Dusk. The Catcher With Heart is Jamie’s debut children’s book and her celebration of courage, kindness and the joy of playing ball. |
