Jenny Healey has been writing for children for 12 years, completing studies and gaining her Diploma of Advanced Applied Writing. She enjoys retirement – it gives her more time to write. She loves to travel and spend time with her grandchildren, who often unknowingly provide fodder for her stories. Although she has self-published three picture books and one e-book, this is her first picture book to be professionally published outside of New Zealand. Jenny lives with her husband in a small New Zealand town, called Tairua, on the Coromandel Peninsular.
