Slightly underground, slightly grumpy and terribly honest, she will make sure you are the first to know about that un-seasonal afternoon frog-fall... but more importantly, where to find that amphibian-repellent umbrella.
In 2008 Michi published a book Like I Give a Frock through Penguin Publishing, which quickly became a two time best seller in Australia. The book was soon followed with UK (Apple), US (Chronicle) and French editions. Michi’s second book is due out in September 2010. Michi is the imaginary best friend of Chloe Quigley and Daniel Pollock. She is brought to life by the illustrations of Kat Macleod.
