Prawn To Be Wild

Children’s picture book author Laura Feldman lives in Ballarat with her husband and two children. Her kids are the inspiration behind her stories, starting with her first book, “Lockdown Baby,” which gained international success in 2021. Laura has since published a collection of books on grief and loss, and the first two titles of a humorous series called “Shawn The Prawn”. Laura enjoys writing entertaining stories with meaningful messages and now her passion is helping aspiring authors bring their self publishing dreams to life through her courses and coaching programs.
