Leek Loves Books 2025

Gary Fyles was a primary school teacher and leader for over twenty years, in the UK and in Vietnam, gaining a wealth of experience in motivating children and colleagues to be the best they could be. His work in teaching 'growth mindset' to children led him to saying 'I can be an Author' and his books now provide inspiration for many, young and old.

He still works largely in schools, bringing his energy to awaken students desire to read, learn and aspire for more. The 'growth mindset' and 'deeper thinking' messages in his books so far provide excellent discussion points for classrooms, support groups and even boardrooms. A true jack of all trades, Gary has been a scientist, magician and kung fu teacher.

He's now a author, illustrator, mindset coach and performs funk and soul covers on an acoustic guitar in bars that let him. His company ThinkingBigger Ltd now supports young authors and artists from marginalised groups to fulfil their dreams of making books.
