Published worldwide, Katrina Germein is a best-selling author of over twenty picture books. Her popular title, My Dad Thinks He’s Funny, was Highly Commended in the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards and became the first book in the ever-growing ‘My Dad’ series. Many of Katrina’s stories, including Thunderstorm Dancing, have been recognised as CBCA Notable Books and featured on television programs such as Play School. In 2019 Katrina received a Speech Pathology Book of the Year Award for Let’s Go Strolling. Recent heart-warming publications include Before You Were Born and Bev and Kev. In 2022 Katrina will release her first non-fiction picture book.
Katrina is an experienced presenter, regularly delivering author talks and workshops in schools and at festivals. She continues to work part-time as an early childhood teacher because she loves teaching almost as much as she loves writing. When she’s not working, Katrina enjoys reading fiction and drinking hot cups of tea. She also quite likes bushwalking, running (slowly) and going to the beach. Katrina has an energetic dog named Mango and summer is her favourite season.
