About the Author

Jill Morris lives in a six acre rainforest near Maleny, 100 kilometres north of Brisbane in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. "I use my rainforest on the Obi Obi creek to inspire writers of all ages, linking creativity and the natural environment. Many authors, illustrators and musicians come and work at the Book Farm, keeping the acres of rolling green hills and rainforest 'alive' with poetry, art, drama and music".

Jill Morris was a teacher for a short time, before joining the Australian Broadcasting Commission as a producer of educational radio programs. This led in 1957 to TV and film production, before she moved to playwriting for theatre and manuscripts for books.

Her prize-winning books include 'Australian Bats', 'Australian Owls, Frogmouths & Nightjars', 'Green Air', 'The Wombat Who Talked to the Stars', 'Mahogany the Mystery Glider', and 'Kookaburra School'. My latest chapter book is a junior novel - 'Frog Thunder', about the platypus frog who is the star of 'Green Air'.
