About Alby
Welcome to the Greenwood
I've always believed that the best stories find you when you least expect them — usually hiding under a leaf, or curled inside a particularly interesting creature.
For three decades I built a career helping families plan their futures — but all the while, I was scribbling poems on notepads and spinning tales for my two boys that were definitely more entertaining than they needed to be.
Inspired by the wild beauty of Tasmania, a lifelong love of rhyme, and a childhood spent with Dr Seuss, I write picture books that celebrate the small, overlooked wonders of the natural world.
I live on the edge of a great adventure — quite literally — and I believe every child deserves a story that makes them look twice at the world around them.
