About the Author: Sally Hetherington is a Melbourne-based graphic artist and musician, and is the mum of her beautiful daughter Ruby, who inspired the idea of Where’s Pa? The author grew up on her family’s farm in Victoria’s Western District, where the story is based. Writing became her way of coping when her father, Maurice (Ruby’s Pa), suddenly passed away in 2007. Her mum, Jan Hetherington, is a renowned artist, and her interpretation of Sally’s poem “Where’s Pa?” comes alive with her vibrant and detailed illustrations. “Writing and Illustrating Where’s Pa? has been a therapeutic journey for Mum and me. We always felt Dad by our sides, giving us the strength to carry on. Through this book, we wanted to convey the message to the grandchildren that their Pa still loves them and will always be with them in a spiritual sense.”
