Sonia Copeland Bloom, the mother of Hollywood film star Orlando Bloom appeared on television’s Daybreak programme today (Thursday).

The ITV1 breakfast show featured Mrs Copeland Bloom talking about her children’s books, especially her latest one called Crystal, the Small Miracle, about a caterpillar.

Mrs Copeland Bloom was filmed at her home in Tyler Hill and at the city’s St Peter’s School.

Her son Orlando, who is in New Zealand filming, has sponsored the newest book, which is backing efforts to save the UK’s threatened butterflies.

Crystal, the Small Miracle, mixes fact and fiction in the life story of a butterfly from a tiny egg. It is published by wildlife charity Butterfly Conservation.

Bloom, 34, who became a father earlier this year, said: “The story of Crystal, the Small Miracle, written by my mother for children everywhere, reflects her own love of butterflies as well as her passion for children to be educated about the insect world in general.”

The book is dedicated to Flynn, Bloom’s son with his Australian model wife Miranda Kerr.

All proceeds will support the work of Butterfly Conservation.
