All You Can Be

When the sun sits up high
In the blue summer sky
And you long to dive into the sea,
But you're fixed to the pier
And you're held there by fear ...
Be brave. Be all you can be.

This is a love letter to children everywhere encouraging them to embrace their true selves and to live their big, messy, beautiful lives to the full.
Be kind. Be strong. Be curious. Be wrong ...
Be all you can be.

Angela Casabene lives on Bunurong Country in a beachside suburb in Melbourne. When she's not sitting in her Storytelling Chair reading books to young humans, she can be found in her favourite cafe, claiming the 'Community Bookshelf' was her idea, and her idea alone. Angela's world has always been filled with stories and books; she still has the pink and cream exercise book her dad taught her to write in when she was four years old. Now, Angela mostly writes on her laptop at the caf, where she creates stories for kids of all ages. All You Can Be is her first picture book.

Michelle Conn is an author, illustrator and picture book maker living on Wadawurrung Country in the coastal town of Torquay Victoria with her husband, two children and border collie, Maggie. After years of working as a graphic designer and primary school teacher, Michelle's love of books and storytelling won over and she spends most of her spare time drawing, writing and wandering around the house in a 'thinking fog'. If Michelle's not writing or illustrating delightful worlds for children to enjoy, you'll find her along the wild and wooly cliffs of Jan Juc or sitting by a fire knitting and dreaming about living in a lighthouse.
