Working as a Teacher Aide, often reading with students and seeing the joy books brought to the children, Kerrie Uren knew she wanted to write a book of her own for children to enjoy. Kerrie knows the importance of keeping our oceans healthy to ensure the survival of the animals that call it home, and she believes picture books are not only a joy for the reader but a valuable learning tool. With a love of the ocean and a passion for animals, Kerrie feels very lucky to live on the doorstep of Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia, where wildlife abounds. Leanne Argent is an illustrator and artist based in South Australia. Leanne realised her passion for illustration when she created a children's book while at high school.
