Lily Murray grew up in the wilds of snowy nowhere, spending much of her time making up stories. Lily writes fiction and non-fiction, is the author of many picture books including A Dress with Pockets, Monet's Cat, The Dinosaur has Talent, Mr Badger's Christmas Wish, and Hello, Hot Dog.

"Playfully explores a broad range of early concepts, including: friendship and compromise, imagination, encouraging predictions, problem-solving, shapes, and mark-making. Melo's artwork complements this theme by utilising various kinds of mark-making, including collage, and we see the characters literally creating their environment through drawing."
