About the Author

Meg McKinlay is a children's writer and poet who lives in Fremantle. She grew up in a car-free home and is a great lover of walking. The idea for Ten Tiny Things came from a game she devised with her daughter, which is cunningly entitled, 'Things We Would Never Have Seen If We Had Been Driving.' Kyle Hughes-Odgers is an Australian artist. He has held exhibitions and created public art extensively throughout Australia and internationally in New York, Los Angeles, Singapore and Berlin. His work is based on narrative and observing the everyday. He finds inspiration in walking daily - to the studio, through new cities and to get more coffee.
