Bernadette Green (Author) Bernadette Green grew up loving animals and being outside. She was no happier than when she was high up in a tree or riding her horse, Blue. As a teenager she dreamed of becoming a writer, but life took her on different adventures. She was a mushroom picker for many years before studying to be a youth worker and then a writer. Bernadette now juggles writing and working as a disability support worker. She is the author of Who's Your Real Mum? which was shortlisted for the 2021 CBCA Book of the Year- Early Childhood. Bernadette lives in Naarm/Melbourne with her partner, their two kids and two dogs. Daniel Gray-Barnett (Illustrator) Daniel Gray-Barnett is an illustrator and author from the Huon Valley in Lutruwita/Tasmania. He likes to think of himself as someone who was put on this planet to tell a few stories before he turns into a grumpy old man. He's worked with clients including Disney, Kiehl's, Sydney Opera House, and The New York Times. His first picture book, Grandma Z, won a Children's Book Council of Australia award for Best New Illustrator. When he's not in the studio, he can be found daydreaming in the garden with his husband, German pointers, and chickens.
