Our Village

<p>Author:<br /><br>Passionate about creativity, equality and the importance of family traditions, Ann is dedicated to purposeful storytelling that ignites young minds and empowers them to embrace their full potential. As a proud mother and fertility warrior, her books and creative educational experiences promise love, laughter and meaningful literature for young readers and their families. When she’s not crafting stories or cherishing time with loved ones, Ann enjoys seeking the world’s best taco or daydreaming by a serene beach. Ann Reddy’s work reflects her belief in the power of stories to inspire and transform, making her a cherished author at Dream Big Brave One.</p><br><br><p>Illustrator:<br /><br>Phil began life as a very small child and is now something of a very big one.  As a commercial creative he’s had the fortune of writing and art directing award winning advertising campaigns for brands like Mentos, Optus, Qantas, Fairfax, and more. This work has resulted in an Olympic swimmer launching a philosophical pool cleaning business, a cow tinkling the ivories with udder dexterity, and a Home & Away star launching a fragrance (Raygrance) that nobody asked for, but everybody wanted. His love of storytelling extends beyond selling wild ideas to clients, having worked on three consecutive Tropfest finalist films. One of which—a statement on marriage equality—has gone on to be recognised internationally. From the big screen to little pages, his love of storytelling led him to illustrating children’s books.</p><br>
