Teena Raffa-Mulligan Author

Teena Raffa-Mulligan is a reader, writer and daydream believer who believes there is magic in every day if we choose to find it. Teena writes quirky, whimsical books for children full of warmth, gentle humour, heart and hope. Her publications range from picture books to Middle Grade and YA novels, exploring themes of family, friendship and the need to belong. Many of Teena’s poems and short stories for children and adults have appeared in magazines and anthologies and her writing life has also included a long career in journalism. Teena shares her Australian home near the beach with a sometime surfer and a golden Labrador with anxiety issues and a toast obsession. When not writing or encouraging people of all ages to write their own stories, she likes to fill her life with family time, sunshine, birdsong and flowers.
