He is the author of Poppy's Pea Promise and This Is Max, both published by Clavis Publishing.

Davilyn Lynch was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, where she spent most days drawing. She grew up in an inspiring household surrounded by her father’s abstract canvasses. After the birth of her first child, she rediscovered her love of drawing. With the support of her husband and close friends, she made her dream a reality and became a fulltime illustrator. Davilyn is self-taught, allowing her passion and creativity to be her guide.
