The Red Feather by Ben Kitchin

Ben Kitchin grew up in rural South Australia where he spent a lot of time playing on the trampoline, riding motorbikes and making model aeroplanes. Ben now lives in Adelaide where he is a primary school teacher and father of five. These days he enjoys playing with his children, reading books and watching anything at Adelaide Oval. He is still shocked and amazed at how cool everything looks underwater when wearing goggles.

Owen Swan lives in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney and has illustrated numerous picture books. He likes to going to the cinema and playing the banjo, though rarely at the same time.
