My name is Ava Spark, and I probably speak in a different way to you. Come and join me and my friends as we welcome the super awesome new girl, Liv, to our school. Are you ready? Because I am and I’m here!

Contributor Bio

Alex Field has written twelve books. I’m a Tiger was shortlisted for the Speech Pathology Australia Book of the Year Award. Alex’s son used a communication aid much like the one Ava uses to speak. Alex and her son had lots of conversations about really important things like cricket and food, especially cake. Alex has spent half her life living in Sydney, Australia and the other half living in London, England. She wishes there was a plane that could take her from London to Sydney in two hours instead of 21 hours! Alex can be contacted on Instagram: alexfield_author
