Sally is a mum of two who loves chocolate, dogs, and writing stories for kids that are full of giggles and fun. She lives in northern Tasmania with her husband and two children. When Sally isn't busy being a taxi for her kids, she can be found with a pen in one hand and a sizeable chocolate stash in the other.
Nomie grew up in a small coastal town of New-Brunswick, Canada, surrounded by the ocean. Growing up, she told everyone she wanted to become either a doctor, or a children's book illustrator. Midway through med school, she decided she would do both. She now shares her time between the hospital (where she works as a rheumatologist) and her home studio, where she sketches, draws and paints surrounded by her wife, son, two tiny Chihuahuas and two cats. She works both digitally and traditionally, creating engaging illustrations, usually with a funny twist!
