Kate Simpson is an engineer and acclaimed children’s author who loves fact and fiction in equal measure. Raised on a diet of classic children’s fiction, it was Kate’s fascination with science that led to her first career as a chemical engineer. Kate rediscovered her love of picture books after the birth of her children and now juggles a full-time job in the water industry with her writing. Her books feature science, history, curious kids and passionate women. Kate’s latest picture book, Tiki and Jill and the Great Australian Camel Race, illustrated by Craig Smith and co-written with Dr Jill Colwell, tells the amazing true story of a camel called Tiki, his rider, Jill, and the extraordinary endurance race that captured the imagination of Australia.
Sessions will be announced soon.
