Margaret Wild is one of Australia's best-known and best-loved authors for young people. She has published over 70 picture books for young children, and two verse novels for teenagers. Ann James was an art teacher and moved into designing and illustrating education publications while establishing herself as a children's book illustrator. Some of the books she has illustrated include The Penny Pollard series, the Hannah series, The Midnight Gang, Shutting the Chooks In, Little Humpty, The Way I Love You, Lucy Goosey, Sadie and Ratz, the Audrey of the Outback series and Chester and Gil.
Margaret Wild's minimal text combined with Ann James' muted story-telling illustrations leave plenty of room for the reader's imaginations. This heart-warming book offers a great starting point for opening up discussion about change whether or not children have had an experience similar to Emma's.
