Richard Turner is an author and Performing Arts teacher in Adelaide South Australia, who supports children’s creative voices through drama and dance. He has directed and choreographed musicals, working with students who can sing and dance way better than he can. Like most people, Richard has to be told to eat his peas, but never has to be told to eat his jellybeans or ice cream. He has been on a skateboard, a rollercoaster, an elephant and a camel. He has also been on a spaceship to the moon, but only in his dreams!

Born in Glasgow, Deborah Sheehy grew up with a longing to wander. So on leaving university she spent some years living in lands near and far, including the Philippines, India and Wales. Inspired by stories old and new and a deep love of creatures of all furs and feathers, Deborah returned to Scotland in 2015 to become a full time artist and children’s illustrator.
