About the author

Here is some brief information about myself.

I’m interested in science because it helps us to understand the world. I enjoy finding out about new things and then working out how to write about them in a way that is both clear (and accurate) but which also conveys my own excitement and interest. I particularly like writing books that are fun, and I have been lucky to have had so many chances to do so.

I was born in Yorkshire in England, but grew up in Stranraer, a small town in south-west Scotland. I graduated from Edinburgh University and then came down to London, where I have lived ever since. I enjoy reading novels, watching films, and walking in the countryside.

The book describes the different life stages of a kangaroo from a new born joey to an adult. It gives short but interesting facts about the kangaroos, such as their behavior and natural enemies. The photographs are great and engaging to young readers, especially those showing joey's close attachment to its mother kangaroo.
