Peta James grew up in rural Australia, and as a child her friends were the family cows, dogs, cats and chickens. Now that she’s (sort of) an adult, she writes stories about animals and their adventures. Peta can’t go for a walk without stopping to say hello to every dog and cat she meets – because animals are people too! “Lucy the Sheep Dog” is Peta’s first children’s book.
