Sarah Kendell is a visual artist who has a great affinity with the Australian environment. Her first book Quoll explored the plight of the Quoll and sold over 6000 copies in Australia. Sandra grew up on a farm with a bush block at the back where she first encountered some of the animals in this story. Camping holidays further developed a love of native animals and environment. She now lives in the Northern Territory and her favourite thing is 'going bush' with her partner and two daughters.
