Cathy Segal is an avid lover of animals and the environment. Her passion for this has created a magical world of characters and stories that is unique and exciting for young Australian readers. As a child growing up in rural Sydney, Cathy spent a lot of her time outdoors and gained a connection with the land that only comes with that kind of exposure. It was a natural progression then to pass on her love of the land to her own children through stories of animal adventures, dreamtime stories and real life bush facts. Cathy’s children grew up with an appreciation and love for the environment as a result of this magical world she created for them. Now as a full-time writer, Cathy has immersed herself in the world of her stories, where animals are the lead subjects and environmental consideration is always the backbone. Each animal has a character, a story and a message, and each human character learns something from them. Every story and scene that comes from Cathy Segal’s pages takes the reader into a place where reality is suspended and at the same time, really considered. Is this our planet? Who else are we sharing it with? What are they saying? What is their story?
