About the Author
Andy Lee is one of Australia's most loved stars of radio, television and podcasting, best known for working in collaboration with Hamish Blake as the adored comedy duo Hamish and Andy. Together they host the No. 1 podcast in Australia for LiSTNR.
In addition to his many roles in the media, Andy is also a celebrated children's author and has a best-selling picture book series, "Do Not Open This Book".
Heath McKenzie lives and works in a very small suburb in Melbourne, Australia and has worked with numerous clients and publishers worldwide. Along with illustration (which he's been doing professionally since 2003) and writing (which he's been getting away with since 2013) he's managed to sneak in the odd bit of design work along the way.
When not drawing he's busily helping raise a little family with his lovely wife, collecting an unnecessary amount of toys and books and occasionally attempting ambitious culinary feats in the kitchen.
He also enjoys possibly a bit too much tea.
