About the Author
Johanna Bell lives in Darwin with her partner, daughter and a backyard full of green tree frogs. Her writing career got off to a bumpy start when she was so busy composing a story in her head that she accidentally drove into the back of a taxi. It was while driving on a bumpy stretch of road outside Alice Springs that the beginnings of the Cheeky Dog books, took shape. Working with Dion has changed the way Johanna sees the world and tells stories. Johanna and Dion's books include Too Many Cheeky Dogs, the CBCA Book of the Year, Go Home Cheeky Animals, and the illustrated memoir Cheeky Dogs: To Lake Nash and Back, which recently won the 2020 Prime Minister's Literary Award for Children's Literature.
