Ozzie Goes to School

About the Author

Jocelyn Crabb was born and raised in British Colombia, Canada, and graduated from the University of Calgary with a Masters in Education. Since graduating Jocelyn has taught in Canada, South America, Mexico and China, Malaysia and the Middle East. In 2008 she moved to Australia where she worked as a teacher-trainer in a variety of Aboriginal Communities before returning to the classroom as a primary school teacher and a teaching principal. Jocelyn now lives permanently in the Northern Territory and is the author of several self-published travel books, a blog entitled 'Work and Travel' and the picture book Ozzie Goes to School illustrated by Danny Snell. As a child Danny ­Snell was a reluctant reader, so it was pictures rather than words that drew him to the wonder of books. Danny went on to study graphic design and illustration at the University of South Australia and he now works as a picture book illustrator and author. Danny illustrates using digital media, focusing on simple compositions, subtle texture and a touch of whimsy. His books have won a number of awards including the CBCA Eve Pownall Award, the Environment Award for Children's Literature, and The Speech Pathology Australia Book of the Year Award. Danny lives in Adelaide with his partner, his two daughters and a sleepy old cat. He enjoys cooking and swimming, and yes, he loves to read.
