Juniper's Painting

Juniper is stuck inside, waiting for a storm to pass and her Mamma to finish work. As she paints a picture of her beloved beach, Juniper finds surprising power in her imagination.

Catherine Bauer is a journalist and writer from South Australia. She has worked as a news and political journalist and features writer, a government media adviser, and currently works with a community services provider supporting homeless and vulnerable South Australians.
Her love of writing started when she was eight years old, when she wrote and illustrated her own book. She has now written and published three children's plays and two picture books.
Catherine aims for her stories to spark all or one of the following three reactions in readers: 'That's me', 'I wish that was me', or 'I'm glad that's not me'. Her parents were both great storytellers and among her favourite stories were her father's wonderful retellings about finding joy in small things, his enthralling adventures and the hardships of a childhood growing up in World War II Germany.
