Katrina Germein

Best selling picture book author Katrina Germein writes stories that delight children and adults alike. Her popular book Big Rain Coming has been published around the world and remains in print more than a decade since its release. Big Rain Coming is one of three of Katrina’s titles to have won a  Notable Book commendation from the Children’s Book Council of Australia. Katrina’s latest book, the very humorous My Dad Thinks He’s Funny, is about a dad with a joke for every occasion. In 2011 My Dad Thinks He’s Funny was shortlisted for children’s choice awards across Australia as well as being Highly Commended in the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards. Katrina’s newest story, a lively rhyming tale titled Somebody’s House, will be published by Walker Books Australia in 2013. Aside from writing, sunshine makes Katrina happy and so does swimming in the sea with her three children. Katrina is currently working on a second dad book.

Katrina also runs online writing workshops for aspiring picture book authors. Find out more at The Writers’ Quilt.
