Karen Comer is a writer and editor and reader. Her mum said she used to read the cereal box at breakfast when there was nothing more interesting to read. Now her daughter holds her book at the table with one hand, eating cereal with the other. Stories are Karen's passion. She reads them, writes them, tells them to her children, shares them with her friends. She works as a freelance editor from her home in Melbourne.
'Tender and funny - a tumbling collage of words and wonderings, fears and triumphs, where the child's world is both the hard, real thing and the stuff of magic,' Ursula Dubosarsky, Australian Children's Laureate 2020-2021
