About the Author

Jim Hodges was born in England in 1965 and, due to work opportunities offered to his father, spent most of what was an extremely happy childhood growing up in a small town called Nelson on the south island of New Zealand. In 1980 he moved to Australia and then, in 1982, joined the Royal Australian Navy as an electrician, where he remained and worked for the next twenty-three years. In 1992 Jim met his wife, Vicky, and a few years later his daughter Ayeesha was born, followed eighteen months later by his son Bowie. In 2005 he published his first book, Art & Soul, a collection of poetry and digital art, and having found the confidence and means to get a book published, he turned to his children and found the inspiration to write and illustrate what will now be his sixth publication. Jim has presented this story in the form of rhyme and has also incorporated several games with the aim of making it more interesting and interactive. The theme of this book is again about the social issues we are currently faced with, and it is through this story that he hopes we can help to spread the word—“Bullies simply need friends and education.”
