About the Author
Sarah Speedie lives near the beach in Melbourne, Australia with her husband, two children, and her fur-baby, Dutch, a bulldog who loves stand-up paddle-boarding! Sarah has always been a dreamer. As a child, when she didn’t have her head in a book, reading, she had a pen in her hand, writing. After finishing university, Sarah followed a sensible path and worked in finance, but after starting a family of her own, she has been drawn back into the wonderful world of writing. Rebel is an artist and wildlife carer who lives on a leafy acreage property in QLD surrounded by chickens and ducks. As a working art director and graphic designer (and with a science degree from that time she dreamed of being a park ranger) most of Rebel’s artwork is inspired by the animals she cares for, the ones who visit her backyard and animals throughout the world she would love to meet one day.
