ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Maddy Mara is the pen name of Australian creative duo Hilary Rogers
and Meredith Badger. Hilary and Meredith have been collaborating on
children's books for many years. Hilary is an author and former
publishing director; Meredith is the author of countless books for
kids and young adults, and teaches English as a foreign language.
Maddy Mara is the melding of their respective daughters' names.
It was seeing their own children's fear of messing up that led
Hilary and Meredith to the idea for The Greatest Mistakes That Went
Right. It is useful, they realised, for kids to understand that
mistakes are a part of life and can bring about unexpected and
wonderful results.
