About the Author

Kiah Thomas was the littlest person in her house growing up, and telling stories was one of her favourite things to do. She now lives in Melbourne with her husband, three children and at least twelve soft-toy penguins, and she is not the littlest in her house. She does still love telling stories though, and is relieved that imagination doesn’t care how big or how small you are. She is the author of ten books for kids, including middle-grade adventure series The Callers, and dreams of one day having more books than penguins.
 
Bec Kitson is an illustrator based in Wodonga, Victoria – a place she moved to in large part for the autumn trees. She loves making art that delights all ages, which she shares online under @scribblegum_illustration. She loves to draw witches, forests, foxes, cats and koalas, but she loves to draw dragons most of all. Bec can’t pick a favourite colour, and says it changes depending on the day: today it is sunshine yellow. She shares a home with her husband and two daughters, who are named after water and fire.
