Judith Price is a Western Australian artist and illustrator who has enjoyed a career of more than 25 years as a graphic artist and designer from which she has drawn a masterly understanding and control of composition. She is an accomplished book designer, fine artist and runs classes of drawing instruction in a number of Western Australian schools. Koo Kaa & Burra, The Rescue is her first illustrated story book drawn from a collection of stories she told her daughters at bedtime when they were very young. Koo Kaa and Burra’s adventures invariably lead to food and celebration. Often they would leave mail for the children to discover when they woke, bringing them news of new and great adventures. The three young kookaburras share their environment with other birds and animals who live in the great tingle forest, bringing a sense of caring and compassion into the lives of their young readers.
