Caroline Magerl verkent de wereld door middel van kunst en illustratie. Haar vormende jaren, doorgebracht met zeilen langs de Australische kust, en haar latere reizen hebben een uniek perspectief gevormd dat weerspiegeld wordt in haar werk. Magerl richt zich op visueel verhalen vertellen, waarbij haar illustraties worden erkend voor hun gedetailleerde uitvoering en emotionele diepgang. Haar artistieke praktijk, die schilderen en grafiek omvat, is internationaal tentoongesteld.

"Bea came from a big musical family who made all sorts of noisy noises. Big sister Isla plays the violin and Bea is waiting for her music to start. With the help of Maestro Gus, the cat living in the piano, Bea will make her sparkling debut"--Publisher's description.
