Midnight Magpies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922418111)

Born and bred in Melbourne, Emma Cary spent almost two decades travelling the globe to gather the experiences that shape her stories and, as a self-professed adventurer, she has plenty to write about. In between cycle touring and motivational speaking, you might find Emma with her husband paddling their tandem kayak or hiding in the studio singing her heart out. Emma's writing celebrates Australia in a global setting with unique characters that embody her adventurous personality. Her words and humor connect readers of all ages, finding common ground with experiences we can all relate to. Emma Stuart is an accomplished and acclaimed illustrator of children's books and has had several books published since the early 2000s. Her first illustrated book, a collection of nursery rhymes, was commissioned by Brolly Books, with whom she has worked with on various projects over the past 20 or so years. Emma's work is joyous and animated, full of energy and highly appealing to children and adults alike.
