About the Author
In its landmark 60th year, Play School continues to evolve across broadcast, digital and experiential platforms. The brand was recently recognised with the Best Children's Program award at the AACTA Awards, reinforcing its cultural impact and creative excellence. Play School delivers high-performing content across ABC platforms and social accounts, original music releases, educational resources aligned to Early Years Learning Framework outcomes, and live shows that extend brand engagement into homes, classrooms and cultural institutions nationwide. In 2026, Play School has partnered with ACMI on the nationally touring Play School: Come and Play!, celebrating the program's legacy and inviting new generations to engage with its iconic toys, presenters and stories in an immersive environment. Play School represents a rare multi-generational brand with deep emotional equity and national recognition. Its core pillars of imagination, music, craft, diversity and play-based learning translate naturally into high-quality retail. With continued investment in new specials, refreshed branding and digital expansion, Play School's goal is to strengthen its presence as Australia's most trusted preschool brand offering retailers a premium, values-driven partnership with enduring commercial potential. Beck Feiner is an Australian illustrator, author and graphic designer based in Sydney. She is known for her vibrant, concept-driven illustrations and engaging children's books that explore big ideas with warmth and humour. Beck first gained attention with Aussie Legends Alphabet, a creative take on the ABC that celebrates iconic Australians and reflects her passion for diversity and inclusion - a project born out of teaching her own child the alphabet. Since then she has published a number of picture books, including If I Was Prime Minister, My Favourite Teachers and The Polar Bear in Sydney Harbour, bringing playful narratives and bold visuals to young readers. Beck is also an illustrator for the iconic Australian children's television program Play School, creating artwork that supports storytelling and early learning for one of the country's most beloved and enduring TV shows. Her creative career draws on years of experience in graphic design and advertising and she continues to create art and stories that resonate with kids and families alike.
