Sarah Milne is a mum, entrepreneur, and author of the
best-selling book Kiwis and Koalas. Sarah lives by the sea in Christchurch, New
Zealand with her daughter and chocolate Lab – her inspiration behind the main
characters, Lily and Woof. Look closely and you will notice that Lily is
wearing a cochlear implant, a way to subtly normalise differences and ensure
that every child sees themselves in a picture book. The Kiwis and Koalas series
was born out of a need to bring the people and places we miss together on the
page.
