"I have really enjoyed “Fire” by R.J. Hampson. It is a charming story of Poe the fire fighting possum. Beautifully illustrated children’s story written in a lilting poetic style. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to read with their child." Customer review

About the author

With a background in illustration and graphic design, R. J. Hampson brings a unique blend of creative thought to his work in both traditional and digital media but is happiest when he tells a story.
Originally known as the author and illustrator of the Bunyip Tree series of children's books, Russell writes: "I was intrigued by the machines in my local Australia Post mail center and was inspired to draw them. This became the seed that inspired my first illustrated children’s book which features a kangaroo, called Roopert, who delivers the mail."
"Having cottoned on that being a children’s book author and illustrator meant I could draw whatever I liked, the next book was about a wombat named Wombi who loved heavy machinery. And then came a possum, platypus, koala, fire engines, trains, and before I knew it there were 5 in the series and plans for more!"
And in 2020, Russell decided to release some of his more fanciful illustrations as a series of coloring books.
"Adding color to my illustrations is so much fun. I wanted to share the joy of this almost meditative experience and launched the R.J.Hampson series of coloring books. Whether you enjoy coloring quirky buildings, manic machines, moonlit gardens, or underwater scenes, there is something for everyone in these books."
Today, Russell draws and writes in his studio on the Sunshine Coast, Australia, where the beach calls to him along with the parrots.
