About Meet Mim

Dive down into the world of the sandy seabed and observe the clever transformations of a very tricky sea creature.

Meet Mim is an exciting new picture book from Sandra Severgnini, author and illustrator of the CBCA shortlisted Grub, and Illustrator of the award‐winning Tree Beings.

Like Sandra’s earlier works, the mesmerising illustrations in Meet Mim immerse the reader in the marvels of the natural environment. In this new book we take a dive beneath the waves to join a delightful guessing game which showcases the abilities of the little‐ known mimic octopus.

A master of disguise the mimic octopus can change colour, shape and skin texture in all kinds of amazing ways. It deters predators by shape‐shifting into creatures that are known to be poisonous, such as the spiked lionfish and the banded sea snake. It can even imitate jellyfish and sea stars.

Hatchling marine biologists will delight in the wealth of accurate detail presented in the illustrations. Adult and child readers alike will be left with a new appreciation for the life in our precious yet threatened marine environments.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR

Sandra Severgnini owned an art gallery and retail store before finally deciding it was well and truly time to nurture her lifetime passion and focus on children’s picture books. Her fascination with the magical natural world around her inspires her words and brings sensitivity and humour to her illustrations.

Sandra’s other books include Grub, shortlisted in 2023 for the CBCA Eve Pownall Award and winner of the 2022 Little Pink Dog Books Authorstrator prize, and Tree Beings, which was an INDIES Finalist for Juvenile Nonfiction (Children’s) and winner of the Wilderness Society Environment Award for Children’s Literature.)
