When will this arrive by?

When the students of Burraroo Public School skipped through their dusty red playground and into class, they saw the most gobsmacking thing…

Starting at a new school can be hard. But imagine if you are a bunyip!

Set in a fictional outback Australian school, this is a story about being accepted, finding a place to belong, the value of kindness, and how important it is to say sorry.

About the Author

Jennifer Bain has been writing stories since she was very small. She was the new kid at six different schools in three different countries growing up, and Jennifer feels she was just as awkward as Barry.

Jennifer has always wanted to write picture books to help children feel comfortable in the world, but she got distracted by becoming an accountant, a mum, and then a primary school teacher. She now lives on the Central Coast NSW and finally has the time to follow her dream of creating positive stories to help children navigate the world with a sense of humour.

About the Illustrator

Deb Brown grew up in a small country town in NSW, spending her days at the beach or camping out with her family. She has always relished time outdoors where she can draw and allow her imagination to run wild.

Now a semi-retired graphic designer, book designer and web designer, Deb has worked on many awardwinning picture books over the years she has worked at various publishing companies. Deb says that telling stories through her paintings still gives her the biggest thrill and will always be her happy place. She now lives with her husband and three dogs in a small country town near a beach.
