ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Though children’s author R.W. Starr has enjoyed writing poetry and storytelling since he was in high school, it wasn’t until he retired from U.S. Federal Service and met his fiancee that his passion for the written word was rekindled, sparking his foray into children’s books. The result are his six animal-themed stories for children, including A Journey Down Under: Some of Australia’s Amazing Creatures, inspired by his current hometown of Perth, Australia. Starr believes a great kids’ book is one with loveable characters, artwork that brings the story to life, and shares knowledge. He hopes his young readers come away from his stories having learned fun facts about animals around the world and with a joy of reading that stays with them long after the book is closed.

Originally hailing from Maine, Starr has lived in
