About the author

I am Toula Papadam, a casual school teacher and a married mother of two. I am a resident of Wattle Grove, Sydney and have been a teacher of primary school children for 42 years.

I am also a writer of children’s books, I started writing for children late in life and have self published two books:

• “Oh My!” Said the Fly written for young children 3-6 years of age, published in 2013 and
• Lex written for children 7-9 years of age, published in 2016.

There are more children’s picture books to come, three of which are currently being illustrated by different illustrators. I have also been published in FreeXpression, a monthly magazine featuring poetry and short stories of local writers.

I am also Vice President of the Liverpool branch of the Fellowship of Australian Writers (LFAW). This is a small but talented group of local writers who meet each month in Liverpool. In 2015, the members of the LFAW collectively produced and published an anthology of poetry and short stories called “Roaring Silence”. There is a collection of my own poems and stories in this anthology.

As a visiting author, I am available for guest appearances at schools, libraries and special events. My presentation of my books to children include interactive educational activities.
