About the 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. She grew up in an English/Italian family in  Western Australia, surrounded by natural story tellers whose tales about their lives  captured her imagination. Books also opened a window into the world of make  believe and her ambition to be a writer was born at an early age.  

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. She is  passionate about the importance of story in our lives to inspire greater empathy and  understanding between people and remains hopeful there will come a time when the  world is a place of peace of harmony.  

Teena shares her 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.
