Angela Toniolo Author

Angela Toniolo is a picture book author and qualified teacher. She lives in Australia with her husband, son, and cat. When she’s not dreaming up stories inspired by the world around her, she’s making a lot of noise on her drumkit or playing with the cat. She eagerly awaits the publication of her first picture book, Mavis, the Little Plane Spotter, which was inspired by the brave and eager children who volunteered to help the war effort at home during WWII by keeping their eyes on the skies for enemy aircraft. Shannon Melville is a freelance illustrator, graphic designer and community art teacher from Perth.  She has illustrated the following books: My Arms Your Legs (Blake Education) by Kim Rackham, Matilda’s Morning Adventures and Choose Active Transport: A Teacher’s Resource (Physical Activity Taskforce, 2010) by Kim Chute. When she is not working Shannon loves walking with her husband, Ninian, Dora explorer Jaya, and sheep rounder Hugo. Shannon’s other books with Wombat are Little Meerkat, Coming Home, Boondaburra and Little Good Wolf.
