Jo van Dam
author | poet | librarian | speaker
Jo is an NZ Book Award finalist. She was born in England and emigrated to New Zealand when she was11years old. Now happily living near the sea in Auckland with her handsome husband, she is the mother of two amazing grown ups.
Neighbourhood tamariki know and love Jo as the librarian at two local primary schools.
Jo loves dancing, walking, canoeing and cooking. She loves her job, the husband, the offspring and, of course, writing a book or two.
Jo met a dingo puppy in Australia a couple of years ago... so cute. Maybe 'D' in Doggy Ditties should have been for Dingo...
