From Africa to Asia and beyond, Marguerite MacLean’s books explore courage, connection, and the deep wisdom of the natural world—engaging younger readers and offering meaningful reflection
and deeper insight for adult readers.

Marguerite MacLean is a British author of children’s animal books and wildlife stories, creating inspiring tales that connect young readers with nature, conservation, and the emotional lives of animals. Her books, including GustoSinga and the Animal Whisperer series, are designed for children aged 4–10 and encourage empathy, curiosity, and care for the natural world.

Marguerite MacLean is a British author, educator, musician, and creative therapist whose life’s work is devoted to harmony—between people, nature, and the world we share.

Through music, storytelling, and education, she brings a distinctive voice that inspires calm, connection, and a deeper awareness of the natural world.

With a rich international career spanning the United Kingdom, Africa, and Asia, Marguerite has spent decades in education while nurturing her parallel path as a performing musician and composer.

During her time in Singapore, she was recognised as a finalist in the Hard Rock Café Rising Star competition, performing as a solo artist alongside major bands. Her music—both soothing and expressive—has resonated with audiences across cultures, blending sensitivity, strength, and emotional depth.

A registered composer with the Composers and Authors Society of Singapore (COMPASS) and a member of the Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM), Marguerite’s work reflects a lifetime of artistic dedication and global experience.

As an author, she extends this same philosophy into her writing. Her books—particularly GustoSinga and the Animal Whisperer series—draw on her deep connection with nature, her understanding of human emotion, and her passion for conservation.

Her work encourages readers of all ages to listen more closely—to animals, to one another, and to the quiet wisdom of the natural world.

Alongside her writing, Marguerite’s original music is thoughtfully composed to bring calm, uplift the spirit, and offer moments of stillness in today’s fast-paced world.
