Product Information

"written in a musical language that is a pleasure to read [and] will appeal to both boys and girls ... Poppy Wash has a complex enough storyline to allow parents and teachers to read it over and over again, without the story losing its appeal." - Bookseller+Publisher

Kerry has always had a love of words... she speaks a lot of them! Thankfully, to the relief of her family and friends, this passion for talking has been channelled into writing children's picture books. This has become her new passion. Kerry's motto is 'Imagination is Magical'... "Your imagination is a wonderful and powerful thing. It has no limits, expectations or marking key! I’m not saying that spelling and reading aren’t important. They are. However we need to encourage a love and fascination of literature within our children. We need to ignite the spark that gives them an appetite for adventure. Once they are immersed in the joy and satisfaction of storytelling, the rest will follow." Kerry is a qualified primary teacher with a Masters Degree in Education. She has had the privilege to work along side some of the best imaginations in the country - the children she has taught! Kerry juggles her writing, part-time teaching, studying and being a full-time Mum, on the Gold Coast, where she lives with her husband, children and much-loved Labrador! Michelle was born in 1969 and grew up in Carnarvon, Western Australia. She now resides in a small pocket of paradise known as Buderim, on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia - with her husband Andy, sons Axel and Jodi and groodle Daisy. A self-taught Artist, Michelle draws inspiration from both her own childhood memories and those currently being formed by her two young sons. Often described as quirky and whimsical, Michelle′s artwork always provides that little bit extra to both the characters and the story-line as a whole.
