To a world where toys come to life! Do teddy bears really have picnics? Are plastic toys really nastier than soft ones?

He is currently the Director of Drama and Youth theatre at Hale School, in Perth, WA. A chance meeting with fellow WA-based illustrator and author, Matt Ottley, lead to Danny's first picture book Tree in 2012. Their second collaboration, Parachute, was shortlisted for CBCA's 2014 Picture Book of the Year award. Proven as an immensely talented author, and with an imagination to rival any 5-year-old, Danny's next adventure sees him tackle the exciting world of junior fiction with the brand new early reader series Lola's Toy Box. No one to be idle, Danny will also be collaborating with award-winning illustrator Freya Blackwood in 2015 to release a picture book called Perfect.
