Walls That Talk
Walls that Talk – creatures of camouflage and mimicry
Sami Bayly is a 27 year old author and illustrator who is based in East Maitland. She loves all things weird and wonderful and enjoys painting realistic flora and fauna. After studying a bachelor of Natural History Illustration at the University of Newcastle, she has gone on to publish five books, all with Lothian/Hachette Australia. The illustrations featured are from her latest book, ‘How We Came To Be: Creatures of Camouflage and Mimicry’, for the purpose of creating a children’ s book that celebrates the interesting reasons behind an animals evolutionary adaptation.
She believes that it’s important to introduce the complex notion of evolution at an early age, and used her books as a fun, colourful and realistic way for kids across Australia (and the world) to enjoy. You'd be amazed by how these clever creatures use disguise and imitation to find food, send out warning signals and, most of all, avoid predators!
