Tim Cronin
Tim was born and bred on Sydney’s north shore, with a father from Ireland and a mother from rural NSW. He is married to Ellie and is the proud father of two young boys: Aidan (the inspiration for Billy Belly) and his cheeky younger brother, Lukas. Tim's working life has been in environmental conservation and sustainable development, much of it with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and he has published many academic papers and technical reports, primarily on tropical deforestation. Becoming a father lit a spark of creativity and moved Tim to turn his hand to children's fiction. Tim was raised on Dr Seuss, Roald Dahl and CS Lewis and gets a kick out of reading these favourites to his boys. Inspired by them, Tim wants to impart a love for words, a sense of wonder and a belief that anything is possible. Dedication: For my boys, Aidan and Lukas. My world.

Billy Belly and the Lonely Plight of Pino the Pup
$13.00 (GST-inc)Life for Pino the Pup is just how he wants it with his human Mum and Dad – yummy snacks, plenty of toys, and lots of fresh air on his daily walks.
Until Mum and Dad arrive home one day with a gurgling guest, who grabs all of their attention, and most of Pino’s play space. The snacks come far and few between, and Pino has to almost beg for his walks. What’s to be done?
