Kaz Cooke is an Australian author and cartoonist, mum
and former teenage girl. She has a background in
journalism and faffing about. She is often a columnist; sometimes a radio broadcaster; the best-selling author
of The Rough Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth, the Rough Guide to Babies and Toddlers, The Little Book of Stress and
Real Gorgeous; and the winner of the 2002 UK Diagram Prize
for the Oddest Title of the Year, Living with Crazy Buttocks.
Her books have been translated into many languages: in Latvian
she is Keza Kuka and in Czech she is Kaz Cookeova. She has too many handbags and never knows where her mobile phone is.
