Author Information

Anika Moa (Author) Anika Moa (Ngapuhi, Te Aupouri) is a New Zealand recording artist and television presenter. Born in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland, Anika grew up in Ōtautahi Christchurch, where she played rep rugby for Canterbury before her musical career took centre stage. She has released several critically acclaimed albums (one gold; three platinum), hosted radio shows, presented primetime television, become a mama to four kids and produced music for a highly engaged audience of children and parents. The shift from songwriting to writing children's stories has been a natural progression for her. Alongside creating fun and cheeky books for children, she is busy working on a new album and stars as 'Aunty Anika' in the popular Toi Time children's television series. Rebecca ter Borg (Illustrator) Rebecca ter Borg is a freelance illustrator based in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. As a young girl living in Rotorua, Rebecca's ambition was to be 'a starving artist living in an attic'. Luckily she is not starving and lives on a ground-level house in Auckland with her two daughters, but she still loves drawing as much as she did back then. She enjoys making gigantic designs for walls and is also drawn to flowers and bees and the smallest inhabitants of the earth. These strands combine into colourful, tangled, dreamy artworks that depict alternative narratives to everyday life.
