About the Author
Danielle Bruckert
Danielle is a New Zealander living abroad, who now calls Africa
home. Her chosen career is as a professional pilot, she has worked
in a variety of aviation capacities from instruction to airline
flying, and is the author of several aviation tet books.
Danielle started writing children!s books as a creative outlet from
the stress of her !day "ob! and as a break from the sometimes
monotonous work re#uired for her professional writing.
$he began with the %ac and Dipper series, aimed at &'() year
olds, inspired by two of her own dogs. After having a child of her
own, she suddenly found she had a muse, an eager resource for
test reading, and, by benefit of her age, an honest critic all in one.
*t was fun and rewarding to write creative stories which matched
her daughters learning curve. A series of !"unior! books aimed at +'
& year old children followed.
,ncouraged by friends and family, and already familiar with the
self'publishing route through her non'fiction books, Danielle
began publishing the books online so that others could en"oy them
too.
Because of her passion for children!s literature and the role it
plays in improved literacy standards, all of Danielle!s own books
are available for free download and may be used free of charge
for non'commercial purposes.
