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.’

After spending twenty years playing with clay, Heidi rediscovered her love for illustration. Six months after picking up her pencils and paints, Heidi was offered her first illustration contract with Koala Books.

In 2015 and 2016 she won the CYA illustrated manuscript competition, which led to the publication of her first book as both author and illustrator in 2018 with Wombat Books.
