About the artist Campbell Whyte was born in Perth and has lived here for most of his life. We also acknowledge the contributions of Aboriginal Australians to the education of all children and people in this country.

The characters in the first book are students on their last day of primary school. They have an argument and fall into the Swan River. When they reach the riverbank, they find themselves in a kind of enchanted forest.

His second book, Home Time: Beyond the weaving is for young adults and continues the story of the characters trying to go home. Campbell explained the process of developing the book and referred to many book and media influences including Harry Potter and Japanese manga and anime. He also described the broader influences on his work: nature, video games, comics and art history, and linked these influences to his work.

He used examples from his graphic novels to talk about the various traditional tools that he uses such as inks and pens, and also the way in which he uses digital tools.
