Author Biography

Antonia Pesenti and Hilary Bell met in Paris over 20 years ago and have been friends ever since. Antonia is an architect and illustrator, and Hilary is an award-winning playwright. Their friendship turned into a collaboration when they created the bestselling Alphabetical Sydney, and later, Numerical Street. Summer Time is their tribute to the places and rituals of the Australian summer. They have enjoyed researching Summer Time, testing waterslides and tasting Neapolitan ice-cream for the first time in yonks.
