BiographyHistory

'Amanda Niland grew up in Sydney, where she spent most of her childhood reading. She studied music at university, and then decided to be an early childhood teacher, so that she could share her two favourite things – books and music – with young children. Inspired by children’s enthusiasm, she began to write her own stories and songs.' (Source: Windy Hollow website)
