About the author

Shelley Knoll-Miller

Shelley is an Australian illustrator with a love of storytelling – the sillier the better. She has worked as a cartoonist for over 20 years, including editorial cartooning for The Melbourne Age, before she illustrated her first picture book and fell in love with the process. Now, she writes and illustrates her own books, and her creative talent has been recognised both locally and nationally through awards, including the 2020 Australian Society of Author’s Style File Illustrator Award as well as the 2020 Maurice Saxby Creative Development Program. Shelley lives in a tiny hamlet, in a straw-bale house that she built with her husband. She insists everyone in her household call one of the bedrooms ‘The Studio’, where she attempts to work in between visits from her three children – and guinea fowl, who tap on the windows with their beaks.

This hilarious and cheerful book will quickly become a family favourite and set you on the hunt to complete the series.

Mia Macrossan, https://storylinks.booklinks.org.au/2023/03/26/parcel-for-penguin/

Kids love getting mail (I mean who doesn’t), so they’re going to adore this book and the mystery it holds. I very much doubt you’ll guess what penguin’s parcel is, but the reveal will bring a smile to your face. Good fun. Good read. Good picture book by the super talented Shelley Knoll-Miller.

Set in a chilly arctic world, this picture book is an utter delight. . . This debut picture book by Shelley Knoll-Miller is a fun read aloud, with pictures and text working in tandem to tell the story. It has gorgeous end-papers and the smaller format is perfect for little hands.
