Kristin Martin is a poet, picture book author and primary school teacher from Adelaide, South Australia. She lives near the sea with her family, frogs, turtles and a bearded dragon named Ash. 

Here are some photos of Kristin’s green tree frogs. They all look very different, don’t they?

And here is a photo of Ash. He enjoys spending time on the lawn in the sunshine. He also likes to wander over to the garden bed and eat the nasturtium flowers.

Kristin has written two picture books as well as a poetry book for children. You can read about Kristin’s books here. 

Some of Kristin’s poems and stories have been published in Touchdown, Count Down, Orbit and Blast Off (The School Magazine). If you live in Australia, then you may have seen these magazines in your school library. 

Kristin’s poetry book for grown-ups, Paint the Sky, was published by Ginninderra Press in late 2016. It is available through Ginninderra’s Website.
