Part poet, part pirate and a relentless rhymer. Born in Australia but living in New York, Simon Mills is a prolific writer. His books are as multidimensional as the Renaissance man himself. Mills is a gregarious polymath who masterfully communicates on multiple levels-courageously comedic and then soulful when you least expect it; his stories entertain the parent reader on one level and the youngster on another entirely. The author of 60 books and counting, including the Sir Rhymesalot children's storybook series and many biographies and technical books as a ghostwriter.
