About the Author
Dee White grew up near the sea but instead of being an underwater explorer like Emma, she preferred to explore the world inside her imagination and make up stories. There are three generations of scientists in her family and Dee cares deeply about the environment and is fascinated by how things work. She is the author of more than 20 books published in USA, UK, Canada, Israel, Australia and New Zealand. In the name of research, Dee has travelled Australia and overseas, jumped out of planes (with a parachute on), ridden a camel and been up in a hot air balloon. Dee loves writing books that empower readers and inspire them to explore the world outside their own experiences.
