About Me Sometimes I like to sit with my children and eat chocolate while we talk about their day. They're happiest when their day has been filled with Art, Sport and Music and when their mum really feels like chocolate so they don't need to have a healthy after-school snack like normal. Along with three excellent kids I live with a sporty husband and a dog named Mango who delights in running away with my socks. We live in Australia, which is good, because I love the beach and hot, sunny days. About My Work I write children's books because they're the best kind. I write about the places I go, the things I see and the people I meet along the way. I enjoy writing stories that are honest and fun. I write picture books that grown ups and children can share together. That's the very special thing about picture books. Three Things You Don't Know About Me I like to walk barefoot. I often burn the dinner by mistake. When I was four I asked Santa Claus to bring me a duck on a motorbike.
