Plato is a platypus and a part-time plumber with a tool kit.
On call, Plato fixes watery problems like leaking taps, but he also fixes grumpy people. From his tool kit, he uses smile spray, a feather or a joke.
Sometimes Zanzibar's family need a little help. Plato always comes, despite the ferals along the creek bank.
Water carries secrets, stories and (yucky) stuff! An eco-warrior, Plato knows how to fix things.
Hazel's imaginary friends include the 'There's a Hippopotamus on Our Roof Eating Cake' (Penguin) series and ‘The Flight of the Bumblebee'(New Frontier)
2010 Astrid Lindgren Award nominee, Hazel Edwards has written across media and her works have been performed and translated into Chinese, Korean, Tamil, Auslan and Braille. Platypus are her favourites, and after her Antarctic expedition, Hazel has great respect for Antarctic 'tradies' who can fix any problems.
