2.10 Afternoon Tea with Sarah Speedie, Jacinta Froud and Toni D'Alia

Sarah Speedie lives in beautiful beachside Melbourne with her husband, two children and their bulldog. After working with numbers for way too many years, following the birth of her two children, Sarah re-discovered her childhood love of writing.
She has a particular passion for stories that make you giggle, and when she isn't lost in a sea of words working on a new story, she can usually be found dreaming up her next big idea.

Her second book, The Perfect Book, stars Finn and Mr Persnickety in their endeavours to find best friend Ginny, the perfect book for her birthday. It was designed by Ozan Tortop from Tadaa Book and illustrated by Gökçe Yavas Önal.
