About the Author

Hi! My name is Aneleise and I am a mum of two small children and wife to a rugby league loving guy. I love to bake, read books and watch movies - particularly movie adaptations of books.

Often, you will find me in trackpants, leggings or jeans and a jumper or t-shirt. But I do love any excuse to dress up!

Becoming a mum has been such a humbling but consuming experience and often I struggle to make time for myself. I love my two children more than anything in the world, but also, I think it is important to normalise the chaos that goes along with parenting.

Writing has always been a passion of mine and a way for me to express myself. I find writing therapeutic and my first book "The Duck Who Couldn't Eat Snails" very much fit into this category. When my second child was 5 months old, she experienced an anaphylaxis allergy response to a common food. This experience has changed my whole family's life and I struggled to find resources to help my toddler understand these big changes that were happening to us. From this, "The Duck Who Couldn't Eat Snails" was conceptualised. 

I hope to be able to create stories for children and their families to help start conversations, increase their knowledge and awareness of important topics, and create an experience of reading that is enjoyable and magical. Thank you for supporting my small business, it means the world to me and my family.
