Coral Vass has always had a passion for writing and telling stories. After studying media at university, she dabbled in script writing, radio drama and video production before working for several years in marketing and publications.

Her first children’s picture book was published in 2011 and she now writes fulltime. Her signature style has a splash of rhythm, a dash of rhyme and is stirred with fun. Coral is also on the team of Kids Book Review. She adores children’s books, visiting schools and inspiring children with a love for literature.

With three cricket-loving sons, Coral was delighted to write a children’s picture book based on the life of Sir Donald Bradman. ‘He was an extraordinary sportsman, who shaped Australia's history. It is only fitting he be included in the Meet… series.’

Dub Leffler is descended from the Bigambul people of south-west Queensland. He began his visual arts career as an animator and has worked as a muralist and art teacher and collaborated with internationally recognised illustrators such as Colin Thompson, Shaun Tan and Banksy.

He has illustrated twenty-three books for children, including Sorry Day, by Coral Vass, which won the 2019 CBCA Eve Pownall Award for Information Books, and Black Cockatoo, by Carl Merrison and Hakea Hustler, which was a 2019 CBCA Honour Book. He is also the author-illustrator of the acclaimed picture book, Once there was a boy. He travels around Australia and the world helping children make illustrations of their own.
