About the Author
Emily S. Smith is a children’s author, storyteller, book-lover and all-round nerd. She divides her time between writing for children, teaching early childhood and being the greatest aunt of all time (in her own opinion) to her nephews and niece. Emily is obsessed with language and its ability to connect people, create fantastical worlds, and explain ideas. She is based in NSW. Heidi Cooper Smith is a talented Australian author and illustrator who knew from the age of 11 she wanted to write and illustrate books. In 2014 she was offered her first contract to illustrate a picture book. In 2015 and 2016 Heidi won the CYA illustrated manuscript competition, leading to the creation of her first book as both author and illustrator. Heidi’s delightful watercolour and digital illustrations are the cornerstone of her success.
