Who's in your family? Some children live with their mum and dad, others live with their grandparents or foster parents. Some live in a big house, others live in a tiny apartment. With captivating illustrations, Every Family is Different celebrates what it means to be part of a family, and reminds us that there's something that's always the same in every family... AGES: 2 to 10 AUTHOR: Maureen Eppen is an author, freelance journalist and communications professional with an avid interest in writing, reading and writing about reading. She writes the Shelf Awareness blog and reviews books for Good Reading magazine and selected publishers. Veronica Rooke first picked up a pencil at five and... well.. hasn't put it down since. She felt she'd reached the dizzying heights of fame at 13 when her very first six-part comic was published in the local newspaper. But it has now been delegated to the 'never to see the light of day again' file! She won money in a cartoon competition at 16 and thought 'I can make a living out of this'. She has done that since 1987. Veronica is the first to admit it's not been as easy as her naive teenage self imagined it to be. But learning to take harsh criticism and turning rejection into success has been invaluable. She has created many illustrations in different styles, including two- and four-page comics, a six-year comic serial, a graphic novella and a 10-part science feature. These have appeared in the School Magazine and Oi Oi Oi comic.
