About the Author

Australian children's book author and illustrator Dave Petzold is interested in the little things that go unnoticed, the things we take for granted. 'My stories are born out of a love of nature, adventure, and a desire to show that, if you look a little closer, there is more to life than what you see on the surface,' he says. His writing invites the reader on a journey of discovery in the hope they will discover something about themselves, too. Graphite pencil, screen-printing techniques, and digital collage are used in creating his illustrations.
