Bernadette now juggles writing and working as a disability support worker. She is the author of Who's Your Real Mum? which was shortlisted for the 2021 CBCA Book of the Year- Early Childhood. Bernadette lives in Naarm/Melbourne with her partner, their two kids and two dogs. Anna Zobel (Illustrator) Anna Zobel is an illustrator, writer and teacher from Melbourne, Australia.
