About the Author

Dave Petzold is an author-illustrator living on Bundjalung Country where he loves creating characters who are curious about the world. He was shortlisted for the CBCA New Illustrator of the Year Award for his debut picture book, Seven Seas of Fleas, and his third book, We Live in a Bus, was shortlisted in the Prime Minister's Literary Awards and the CBCA Picture Book of the Year Awards. It was also selected for the BRAW Amazing Bookshelf Bologna Ragazzi Award, and is published in multiple territories around the world.


Dave uses a mixture of traditional and digital techniques to create his illustrations, working initially with graphite pencil, ink and oil paint to create the line work and then moving to the computer to add colour and texture.
