Sarah Pye

Award-winning author (and avid traveller) Dr Sarah Pye met Malaysian ecologist Dr Wong in 2012. She asked what she could do to help him save the rainforest. He replied, “do what you do best”. Those five powerful words sparked a Doctor of Creative Arts degree, an enduring friendship, and a growing series of Wildlife Wong narrative nonfiction chapter books which align with the Australian curriculum. The first, Wildlife Wong and the Sun Bear, was a finalist in the 2021 International Book Awards. Sarah’s engaging presentations and workshops around the books’ content are often joined by her menagerie of puppets!
