Miranda Birthisel lives on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland with her husband and three children. When she isn’t building Lego masterpieces or making copious amounts of snacks, you can find her in the children’s section of the library.

Miranda is a primary school teacher and hopes her fun stories make even the most reluctant reader want to pick up a book for enjoyment.
