Dominic Whitehand

Dominic Whitehand is the author of the Aussie Animal Ethics series, a heartwarming collection of rhyming children’s picture books inspired by Australia’s much-loved native animals. Through entertaining stories, colourful characters, and gentle moral lessons, his books help young readers discover the importance of kindness, honesty, friendship, fairness, and making thoughtful choices.

Each story in the series is created to delight children with lively rhyme, memorable adventures, and the wonder of Australian wildlife, while also offering parents, grandparents, and teachers a meaningful way to talk about feelings, values, and everyday behaviour. Dominic believes that the best children’s books should do more than entertain. They should also encourage empathy, spark curiosity, and leave young readers with lessons they can carry into their own lives.

With warmth, humour, and a deep appreciation for the natural world, Dominic writes stories that children can treasure and families can enjoy together, whether at bedtime, in the classroom, or during quiet moments of shared reading.

Dominic lives in Sydney, Australia, with his wife, Sharon.
