Koa wrote an initial outline for Becoming Mum while heavily pregnant and not so patiently awaiting the arrival of her first baby. Most of the content of Becoming Mum was written on a laptop propped up on Koa’s knees while her beloved first child slept across her chest. Koa lives in Brisbane, Australia, with her husband and her daughter. She blogs about parenting on her website blog Parenting from the Heart: www.koawhittingham.com/blog.
