About the Author

Angie Cui, originally from China, embarked on her Australian journey at eighteen. She lives in Melbourne with her husband and two children, whom she calls the 'ABC Family' - a fusion of four individuals and three cultures. Imbued with a profound appreciation for the linguistic richness within her family, Angie finds delight in weaving tales through various languages. Her aspiration is to craft narratives that resonate with children, enabling them to envision themselves within the stories they read. Evie Barrow is a character-driven artist and illustrator specialising in picture books. She lives and works on Woi Wurrung Country in Naarm/Melbourne where rattling trams are a soundtrack to her days.
