This interview is with the very talented
Chrissie Junge Author - brisbanegirlinavan

Chrissie spent her childhood immersed in her menagerie of pets, imagining and illustrating fantastical stories about what mischief they could be getting up to behind closed doors.   As an adult, Chrissie has blown the dust off these cherished pages and presented them as children’s books, fulfilling her life’s ambition to become an author.

Her debut title ‘Alfredo’ was written at the age of twelve and illustrated at fourteen, the text originally saved on a floppy disk, and the work then left untouched for seventeen years.  Today, Chrissie travels around the pretty corners of Queensland working on her stories and illustrations with an ever-changing view of beaches, rivers and parks. She also works in disability care, paints murals and pet portraits, and runs her own pet sitting business.

Alfredo is a bright, colourful, and happy book about the adventures of a small bird called Alfredo who thinks he's a dog.
