About the Author

Born in Brisbane, Australia,
Rosalyn has had a life-long love of writing, reading and art. She is currently undertaking a Bachelor of Creative Arts with a focus on painting and illustrating.
Roz has written a wide variety of poetry and song lyrics and has been published in four Poetry Anthologies in the USA.
Growing up on a bush property on the outskirts of Ipswich has been the inspiration for this book.
In the early years the property was covered with a variety of Eucalyptus trees and native flora and fauna including koalas, kangaroos, possums, sugar-gliders and echidnas. In a billabong by the creek lived two platypus that were a little shy if anyone went in for a swim.
There were also beautiful birds and butterflies flying around the property. This has led to a life-long love of nature and native animals and has been the major influence for this book which we truly hope you and your children enjoy reading.
