meet the author

Welcome and thank you for visiting my site. 

My name is Kritika (kri-tee-kaa) Singh and I live in Sydney, Australia, with my husband, two children and fur-baby Fonzie. Early in 2024, my goal of publishing a children's book was finally realised, and I am thrilled to have done so. 

Undoubtedly, the driving force and source of inspiration came from my children, who are already teenagers in 2024. In my book, I wanted to express their childhood memories, innocence, humour, and silliness, all mixed. 

The central themes in my book - Billabong Bus, are:

• Kindness: Kindness is portrayed as a strong force that unites people and promotes a sense of community, whether by lending a supportive word or a hand to a friend in need.

• Unity: As the diverse group of passengers journeys together on the Billabong Bus, they learn the value of unity in overcoming challenges and achieving common goals. 

•  Looking out and observing: The act of looking out and observing serves as a metaphor for mindfulness and awareness in the story. As the bus travels through parks and lakes, the characters are encouraged to pay attention to their surroundings and reflect on the beauty of Australian flora and fauna.
