About the Author

Kerri Hashmi grew up in the Adelaide Hills. While working as a teacher and as a diplomat, she travelled extensively, and lived in Asia. This has given her a lifelong interest in learning about other cultures. Kerri now lives with her family near the Murrumbidgee River, which gave her the inspiration for her book You and Me, Murrawee.
