Hi, I’m Rory, a big kid with a beard. I enjoy picture books, fist bumps, stuff, items and things. I love Dad jokes, words that rhyme, and my wife and daughter. I'm also a Toowoomba based traditionally published author with an ever-growing pile of picture books (14 as of January 2025). I'm passionate about kidlit and using it to instil a love of books, reading and creativity particularly in reluctant readers because once upon a time, I was one.
