About the Author
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Maddy Mara is the pen name of Australian creative duo Hilary Rogers and Meredith Badger. Hilary and Meredith have been collaborating on children's books for many years. Hilary is an author and former publishing director; Meredith is the author of countless books for kids and young adults, and teaches English as a foreign language. Maddy Mara is the melding of their respective daughters' names. It was seeing their own children's fear of messing up that led Hilary and Meredith to the idea for The Greatest Mistakes That Went Right. It is useful, they realised, for kids to understand that mistakes are a part of life and can bring about unexpected and wonderful results. ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR: Cheryl Orsini taught herself to draw as a little girl. She grew a little taller, studied Visual Communications at UTS and finally, when she could grow no more, she started illustrating children's books, magazines and decorating a great many peg dolls! Her books include Lucy's Book, Caravan, The Fairy Dancers and Pom Pom, Where Are You?. Her work also regularly appears in magazines and exhibitions. Cheryl created the current exterior design and illustrations for Russ the Story Bus.
