About Lydia WilliamsLucinda Gifford

Lydia Williams is an Indigenous Australian soccer player. She grew up on the red dirt of Western Australia. During her childhood she travelled with her family to many Aboriginal communities where she learnt how to play sport with bare feet. Her family taught her how to live off the land and the values of Indigenous culture; they even had two pet kangaroos. When her family moved to Canberra, Lydia started playing soccer competitively as a way to make friends. Having played soccer for nearly twenty years, Lydia currently plays for Brighton in the UK and is the long-standing goalkeeper of the Australian Matildas.

Lucinda Gifford is the author and illustrator of many well-loved books for kids. Many years ago, Lucinda studied architecture in Scotland, where she learned to draw fancy buildings and moody scenery. She also likes to draw dragons, cats and magical frogs -- despite never having studied witchcraft. Now based in Melbourne, Lucinda works from a lively studio full of books, plants, dragons' blood and newts' tongues.
