What Snail Knows
by Kathryn Apel

Kathryn Apel is a born-and-bred farm girl who’s scared of cows. She lives among the gum trees, cattle and kangaroos on a Queensland grazing property, where she writes poetry, picture books and verse novels. Her previous books include Bully on the Bus, which won the Australian Family Therapists’ Award for Children’s Literature: Younger Readers, Too Many Friends, a CBCA Notable book, and most recently, The Bird in the Herd. Kat loves pumping poetry because she can flex her muscles across other genres, to bend (and break) writing rules. A trained teacher, Kathryn shares her passion for words at schools and festivals around the globe.
