Author:
Bec is an emerging author who lives near the beach in Perth, Western Australia, with her husband, daughter, and their cheeky dog, Waffle. A passionate advocate for neurodiversity, Bec is dedicated to creating stories that help children understand feelings, celebrate their unique brains, and recognise that every individual is valued and loved. Her work offers gentle reminders that no child is ever alone; they are seen, cared for, and will find their tribe. This book is inspired by the power of imagination and the magic of faraway
lands, where unlikely friendships bloom and wonderfully unusual adventures unfold.
Illustrator:
