Creators
Heidi Cooper Smith spent 20 years playing with clay for a living, Heidi suddenly found herself with three children under four, so she joined an online illustration challenge during nap time to stay sane. Six months later she was offered her first illustration contract and began writing soon after. She was lucky enough to grow up on a large property near Girraween National Park and the memories from this magical childhood provided the inspiration for this book.
