Today's first guest is one of Australia's favourite creators of books for kids, with books like Chickensaurus, The Last Viking and The Toffle Towers series.

His latest picture book, Stellarphant, about an elephant who wants to be an astronaut, is taking the world by storm. And, he's popped in today to share his creative journey with us, how he created Stella, and the skills and attributes you need to write and illustrate for kids.
