Francesca Abbonizio lives in Perth, Western Australia where she began writing as a child. Several small stories printed in the local newspaper and a poem written in dedication to the Wittenoom mine workers inspired her to write more. Apart from having completed her first story book, Francesca is currently volunteering in a Children’s community project while dedicating lots of playtime to her son Callum.
One of my main motivations in writing this story is the fact that it’s based on a true event that occurred in my mother and brothers back yard. My parent’s garden was a typical Italian garden where basically everything we needed for the dinner table was harvested in our suburban ‘mini farm’. A great way to grow up knowing that food didn’t come from the supermarket! read more »
