Emma Wood

Emma is a former broadcast journalist who has always loved a good story. Her debut picture book, Tulip and Doug: A Spud-tacular Friendship Story, is about an adventurous girl with an unconventional best mate – a potato. When she’s not writing children's books, Emma works as a communications consultant and reviews kid-lit titles for the Otago Daily Times.

​She lives with her family in Dunedin, and enjoys the creative arts, splashing around at the beach, and travelling.
