About the Author

Sean Farrar is a freelance writer whose journey to become a published children’s book author has been inspired by plenty of life experience, international travel and his favourite role as a parent. Growing up in a creative writing environment fostered strongly by his father, Sean developed a great love for the likes of special poets such as Kenneth Slessor and Robert Frost. His recent role as reading group leader at his daughter’s school has created an appreciation for introducing children to the love of reading through fun and relatable (or perhaps far-fetched) experiences. There’s a Magpie in My Soup was inspired by the backyard antics of Sean’s local magpie population and their love of his bird bath. It gives new life to some great Aussie animals sure to loom large in a child’s imagination.
