Dr. Kate Forsyth, Wombat Books. Minnie May is afraid of her own Shadow, but Ziggy will help her through. Minnie May has tried everything to escape her Shadow. It is in the water, under her bed, reaching from trees, and in the skyscrapers. It is only when she makes herself really small that she can find an escape. But Ziggy isn't afraid. His shadow is big. Ziggy shows Minnie May all the wonderful things that you can do with your shadow. It can tell time, it can make puppets, and it can even go flying through the air. Minnie May likes her shadow now. She doesn't want to hide from it anymore.

Kate has also published a book of art & poetry in collaboration with the Archibald-Prize-winning artist Wendy Sharpe. Other collaborations include The Silver Well, co-written with Kim Wilkins, which received a starred review in Publishers’ Weekly & won the 2017 Aurealis Award for Best Collection. One of Kate’s stories, ‘The Cunning Woman’s Daughter’ also won the 2017 Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novella.
Kate has a BA in literature, a MA in creative writing and a Doctorate of Creative Arts in fairy tale studies, and is also an accredited master storyteller with the Australian Guild of Storytellers. She has taught writing retreats in Australia, Fiji, Greece, and the United Kingdom.
