Joanna Marshall

Joanna Marshall began her journey working with children as a volunteer in a Cambodian orphanage. Her devotion to the younger years took her around the world as an au pair before returning home to Australia where she became a kindergarten teacher, earning two diplomas in early childhood teaching and child developmental psychology.

Joanna now writes fresh children’s literature that promotes a positive sense of self and has been featured across several media outlets as a freelance writer in her field.

Joanna once won a costume competition dressed as a giant potato, is an avid stargazer and, perhaps most importantly, a mother to young son Theo and dogs Zeppelin (as in Led) and Morrison (as in Jim).
