About Us

Tess and Zoe are a mother-daughter duo who collaborate on stories together. 

Tess is the mastermind behind the stories, the plot-lines, characters and the words, and Zoe brings them to life with intricate, beautiful and inspired visuals. 

Here is a little bit more about each of us.

Tess Osborne

Originally from England, Tess is an oncology/palliative care registered nurse and a university academic, living in Sydney, Australia. She has three incredible children, and a patient husband, all of whom inspire her in her everyday life as well as in her writing. Tess strongly believes that the concepts of social justice, equality and acceptance should be introduced to children in their early years, and it is this belief that has driven her creativity in writing the stories you see on this site.

Zoe Osborne

Zoe is an investigative journalist working out of Southeast Asia. She works with text, photography and illustrations for some of the biggest international media companies, and for MODMO, an e-bike company with a vision to create the bike to replace your car. Zoe shares Tess's belief in introducing children to issues of social justice early on, having grown up with the same strong values in her own family. She loves working with her mum to bring her stories to life for families all over the world.
