children could make a holistic sense of the various spelling
patterns. Judith published her first children’s book, The Oo in
Uluru , in 2019 and it soon won a Book of the Year award from
Speech Pathology Australia. Ee in the Sea followed in 2020 and O in
the Snow in 2021. When Judith is not writing children’s stories or
plays, she teaches music therapy and meditation. She lives in
Melbourne with her family and adorable Australian terriers, Nellie
and Dusty. Originally from New Zealand.
