Penny Harrison is a children's author, book reviewer, garden writer and lifestyle journalist. A professional writer for more than 20 years, she has contributed to a variety of leading magazines, newspapers, guides and books, writing about everything from raising toddlers to raising chickens. 

Penny grew up on a farm in central-western NSW and spent her days exploring the bush and planning treasure hunts with her four brothers and sisters.

Hannah Sommerville comes from the scenic South Coast of New South Wales.

After completing a Bachelor of Creative Arts, she practised as a commercial designer before becoming a mother of two.

Reading with her young children rekindled Hannah’s adoration of children’s picture books and she turned her attention to illustrating.

Hannah enjoys capturing familiar events in the lives of children and focuses on crafting moments to which her readers can connect.
