About the Author
Kelli Anne Hawkins has worked as a journalist, graphic designer, administration assistant and mystery shopper -- she's even had a job where she just had to remove staples! But all along, her love of books and libraries and reading and daydreaming should have told her she was meant to write books. Some of her favourite things are airports, velvet jackets, mangoes, the colour yellow, the satisfaction of crossing stuff off lists and staring at the ocean. She lives in Newcastle, NSW, with her two children, who are now taller than she is and far better at maths. Beth Harvey is a Brisbane-based emerging artist who works professionally as an animator and animation director, most notably on the ABC series Bluey. Her artistic skills vary across a diverse range of mediums, from digital art to watercolour, pencils, ink, acrylic and oils. She enjoys telling stories through art -- and has just entered the world of illustrating for children. www.bethharvey.com
