Dr. Romane Cristescu trained and worked as a vet in France before relocating to Australia to study koalas. She is also a poo science evangelist, who likes nothing more than discussing the illuminating qualities of animal excrement at otherwise polite parties.

Rachel Tribout is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Tasmania. She is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
