Katherine Battersby grew up in a small coastal town in North Queensland, Australia, and has always scribbled words and images. In 2010 she won a Marten Bequest Travelling Scholarship for her writing. Nothing makes her happier than ice-cream, summer storms and creating stories for children. She lives in sunny Brisbane with her slightly mad puppy and several imaginary rabbits. Squish Rabbit is her first book.
