About the Book:

"Did you know every frog species has its own call? It helps them find each other in the wild. Mostly they sing love songs to find friends or partners. Sometimes they use their voice as a warning..."

Ella's class is getting pen pals! They will be writing to kids at a rainforest school on the other side of the country. Everyone is excited except for Ella, who finds herself lost for words. What do you say to someone you have never met? But Ella soon discovers she and her pen pal are connected by more than just letters. A creature they both care about needs their help!

About the Author:

Cassy Polimeni is a writer, editor and children’s author from Melbourne, Australia. Her books celebrate the wonders of nature, animals and the world around us and include junior fiction series Ella and the Frogs (illus. Hykie Breeze), CBCA Notable picture book The Garden at the End of the World (illus. Briony Stewart) and narrative nonfiction picture book The World From Here, made with CSIRO Publishing (illus. Mel Armstrong). Ella and the Amazing Frog Orchestra (#1 in the Ella and the Frogs series) won the Environment Award for Children’s Literature, the Novel Insight Reviewer’s Choice Award and was longlisted for CBCA’s Book of the Year for Younger Readers.

About the Illustrator:

Hykie Breeze is a Hong Kong born graphic designer and illustrator living in Sydney (Dharawal country), Australia. After several years working in marketing, events and program management, Hykie decided to switch careers and went back to student (and hospo) life to become a designer. In her commercial design work, Hykie previously worked with the Medical Association of the University of Notre Dame, Canon, Australia Council for the Arts, the Primary English Teaching Association of Australia (PETAA), CommBank (CBA) and ALDI Supermarkets. After building a foundation in communications design, Hykie decided to take a leap of faith and pursue illustration. She is drawn to children’s books because she wouldn’t be the bookworm she is today if she didn’t have access to wonderful literature as a kid herself, and because she believes all kids need to see themselves and others in the books they read. Hykie is the illustrator of the Ella and the Frogs series written by Cassy Polimeni. When not working, Hykie enjoys reading books by diverse creators, exploring the local national park and chasing after her two rescue cats.
