About the Author Lisa Pape

Growing up in Melbourne, Australia, this children’s book author overcame early academic challenges by immersing herself in stories, which sparked a lifelong love of reading and creativity.

After a career shift from finance to roles as a swimming teacher, nanny and then becoming a Mum to her own two amazing children, she loved watching the joy reading colourful and exciting stories brought to these children as they had done for her.

Those notes and scribbles of poems and stories that came to her mind over many years eventually began to evolve as the “Positive Playground” series, written to foster confidence and positivity in children and provide support to those children facing learning challenges.

Today, she successfully balances a career in finance with the rewarding world of writing, driven by a desire to foster each child’s growth through the transformative power of storytelling.
