MY JOURNEY
I have always dreamed of writing children’s picture books.
But it wasn’t until I took the plunge and enrolled in the Australian Writers Centre’s Picture Book course that I really started writing.

The Other Side of the Clouds is a moving, powerful and ultimately uplifting book.
I love Matt Samuel’s writing, it’s poetic and nuanced and the narrative evokes the complexity of the journey through depression, anxiety and grief in a simple, beautiful way.
