About the Author

Pat Cummins is captain of the Australian Men's Test and One Day International cricket teams and has been pivotal in re-shaping team culture and leading them to global success across all formats of the game. Pat has a keen interest in business and aligns himself with organisations dedicated to creating lasting impact. He lives in Sydney with his wife Beck and his young family. Dave Hartley is an award-winning author and school principal who has worked as an executive leader in the Queensland Department of Education's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander division. A Barunggam man, Dave is also an incredibly talented First Nations artist, and plays the didgeridoo. (He was one of the didgeridoo performers at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in 2018). He is also sports obsessed! He got his start co-writing an Aboriginal Rugby League superhero story with League player Scott Prince, and co-wrote the award winning Strangers On Country. Otherwise, he and his wife have two grown-up girls, a giant groodle, a sassy spoodle and live on the Gold Coast. Serena is an international children's book author and illustrator known for her highly successful middle grade series Lulu Bell, Mia Megastar and Pepper Creek Ponies and picture books We are Matildas, Hope is a Spark and Rosie & Rasmus. She has illustrated over seventy titles! Growing up a reluctant reader, Serena found her brother's comic collection the perfect escape and encourages reluctant readers to read, through her illustrations and use of visual imagery. Serena also spent six years working as an artist for Walt Disney Studios, on sequel to the Lion King, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid and Jungle Book which has enabled her to capture emotion and movement with her characters. In her spare time, she expresses her life through sketches and comics, seeks out humour in her week and is a Creative Wellness Facilitator teaching illustration workshops to adults. Serena works both digitally and traditionally teaching a variety of colourful classes in Sydney to young children and adults.
