About The Authors

Flight was written by daughter-father duo Annabel and Peter Acton. The book was written in many different places and time zones including: Melbourne, Sydney, London, New York, Uganda, Tuscany and Marrakesh. Annabel first got the idea when walking to work in Sydney. What exactly was a bird’s life all about? What did birds think about all day? Who was friends with whom? And what did the future of birds look like? She told her father, who leaped at the idea, insisting they must get writing as a double-act quick smart! Their writers' conferences took place via skype, email and when they were very lucky, in person. The book has been beautifully illustrated by the very talented Harriet Stone, a very dear friend of Annabel's from University.
