Product Information

A long time avid general reader and writer with particular interest in poetry, Diane Newcombe's interest in children's literature was sparked during her children's preschool years, involvement in the Playcentre movement, and subsequent childrens' literature courses. Being originally from the Kaipara which is now part of Auckland, prompted her wish to see a children's book giving an idea of the breadth and diversity of what is now Auckland.


Melissa Anderson Scott has been an exhibiting artist in New Zealand, Europe and the United States since 1991. Her work appears in public collections in New Zealand, including the Wallace Collection. She is co-founder of Cloud Workshop, a popular art group for bereaved children, and her passion for children's access to art has naturally led her to book illustration.
