About The Author

Christopher Nielsen is an Australian author/illustrator specializing in bringing joy and wonder to children through his art and storytelling. His illustrations are inspired by a deep passion for mid-century culture and design. His first picture book Once Upon An ABC saw him shortlisted for the CBCA Crichton Award for best new illustrator, and Just One Bee received the CBCA Honour Award for Picture Book Of The Year. When he’s not busy with a book he can be found camping with his family in the great outdoors, taking walks with his dingo dog, Rusty and annoying the neighbours with his rock band.
