About the Author
You’ll find award-winning children’s author and science writer Cristy Burne balanced precariously on the intersection of story, science, technology and creativity, creating havoc and enthusiasm wherever she goes. Cristy has degrees in biotechnology and science communication and loves all things science and STEAM. She has worked as a garbage analyst and a science circus performer, and once, (a long time ago) she (accidentally) exploded sewage on her neighbours. 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.
