Theres nothing more delightful
than to sleep beneath the stars
and to wake up in the morning
to the screech of the galahs.
Come toast a marshmallow and celebrate the universal magic ofcamping in this heartfelt and joyous ode to holidays in the great Australian bush.
Sheila was born in Liverpool, England and spent her childhood years on the Isle of Man, where her parents ran a small guest house. When she was fifteen, her family emigrated to Melbourne, where she fell head-over-heels in love with Australia. Sheila has written poetry for as long as she can remember, but it was working in a primary school, supporting students with additional learning needs, that inspired her to begin writing stories for children. She lives on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
Michelle Conn is an author and illustrator living on Wadawurrung Country in the coastal town of Torquay Victoria with her husband, two children and Border Collie Maggie. After years of working as a graphic designer and primary school teacher, Michelle's love of books and storytelling won over and she spends most of her spare time drawing, writing and wandering around the house in a 'thinking fog'. If Michelle's not writing or illustrating delightful worlds for children to enjoy, you'll find her along the wild and wooly cliffs of Jan Juc or sitting by a fire knitting and dreaming about living in a lighthouse.
