Paul Carpenter
Author & Illustrator
Paul Carpenter, a former advertising creative, draws inspiration from his childhood in the UK where children's TV shows were hand-drawn frame by frame with simple, honest stories and charming characters like Mary, Mungo Midge, Danger Mouse, Mr. Benn, Captain Pugwash, Paddington Bear, and Ivor the Engine.
​
Paul, who moved to Australia over 30 years ago, fully embraces Australian Christmas traditions but still reminisces about a UK Christmas with snow, snowmen, and a family snowball fight before hot porridge and tea for breakfast.
​
"Adventures of Rocky with Holly & Harry" is a charming children's book with an Australian twist on the conventional snowman. Created by Paul for his children, Rocky takes them on magical adventures. Perfect for early readers.
