Hello!
I'm Amelia Tonta.
I write funny books for kids.
I'm published by Affirm Press,
Larrikin House, Scholastic Australia
and Allen & Unwin. (I used to publish under the name Amelia McInerney.)
My recent picture books are
NEIL, the AMAZING SEA CUCUMBER, &
JEFF GIRAFFE - THE GREAT ESCAPE
and my new book is called LUCKY.

"Smalls will laugh uproariously as each calamity is revealed...
a slithery 5 star rating for this slice of fun!"
- Just So Stories

"Jeff Giraffe is hilarious! A great read aloud...
strap yourself in for multiple reads."
- Little Darlings
"One of the most inventive, zany, warm and, quite simply, best picture books of the past year."
-Books+Publishing
