About the Author

After a year in Darwin she moved to Townsville where she lives in a quirky Queenslander with a big back yard and is still charmed by its wildlife and beauty everyday. Inspired by her daughter Jarrah’s first encounter with Lizzie, the inquisitive goanna who was secretly watching her as she swam in the pool, Geri has penned this delightfully illustrated children’s book to introduce some of the amazing wildlife that are an everyday part of a North Queensland garden.
