Author Biography

Hi, I'm Robyn Connelly! I live in the Wheatbelt in Western Australia with my husband—just the two of us enjoying life together. I've always dreamed of writing children's books; now, I've made that dream come true. My mind is full of stories; my soul loves to laugh—I hope you feel that in my books. I enjoy long drives and picnics in the country with my husband; we love learning about local history together.

Kit and His Magical Flashlight by Robyn Connelly is a children's adventure story. Kit has a flashlight. It’s yellow, it’s bright, and it’s magical. Kit explores the world with his flashlight and once saw a big troll wearing a wig made from leaves. Kit has seen so many wondrous things in his explorations: pirates, aliens in space, dinosaurs, and even a rabbit piloting a plane. With plenty of illustrations, you too can join Kit on his amazing adventures, and the next time you open a book, maybe you will have some adventures of your own. And did you spot OJ? Kit’s best friend is a big orange cat, and he’s hidden himself somewhere in every picture.

Kit and His Magical Flashlight by Robyn Connelly is a lovely kids’ story with wonderful colorful illustrations by Junis Laureano that take you straight into Kit’s adventures. Written in rhyme, this story is sure to delight kids of all ages. The bonus of asking readers to search for a hidden cat in every picture adds to the fun. This magical story helps kids realize that their imaginations are everything and they should be allowed to give these free rein at times. It also teaches them that reading isn’t at all the boring “task” some people make it out to be. Opening a book is like opening a doorway to a whole new world and children should be encouraged to put down their electronic devices and pick up a book to have the best adventures. I loved this story, and I think it will teach children a lot about reading and using their imaginations.
