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 text books.

Danielle started writing children's books as a creative outlet from the stress of

her 'day job' and as a break from the sometimes monotonous work required

for her professional writing. She began with the Mac and Dipper series,
aimed at 5-10 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. It was fun and

rewarding to write creative stories which matched her daughters learning

curve. A series of 'junior' books aimed at 2-5 year old children followed.

Encouraged 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 enjoy them too, and soon this avenue led
to the development of www.freekidsbooks.org.

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.
