Nicola Elise O'Shea-Korbut

Nicola O’Shea-Korbut is the author and illustrator of Pengu & The Fox. She grew up in the Western suburbs of Melbourne, has obtained a Biomedicine degree at Monash University, and is now following her passion for children’s learning with a Primary Education Degree.

Writing has always been a passion of hers. Her greatest hope when writing her books is that these words give a voice to the children who can’t articulate how they feel. She believes that children all around the world should have a voice, and know that they are never alone in their pain. Nicola hopes her stories are more than just words written in print, that they can have a lasting effect on your life and be the hand to guide you through your troubles.
