Author Bio

Within the old (and new) walls of an inner-city Sydney terrace dwells Christopher Cheng. He is the author of many childrens books including his previous Nature storybook title Python (illus. Mark Jackson) which was shortlisted for the 2013 Children's Book Council of Australia Book of the Year awards. Passionate about animals, particularly those native to Australia, it's fitting that he established the Zoomobile and taught at Taronga Zoo in Sydney for many years, celebrating his background in education.

He has always loved to write (he mostly always carries his notebook and pens) but he never thought he would be a full-time childrens author.

Cindy Lane grew up peering into rockpools on the northern beaches of Sydney, and not much has changed, although now its the rockpools of sunny Perth. She illustrated her first picture book in Year 3, with her best friend as author. Cindy spends most of her time in her seaside studio, creating illustrations with a variety of paints, pigments and things she finds. She feels like a new adventure is about to happen every time she walks through the studio door!
