About Me
Hi I’m Nathan J Rogers, Children’s Book Author.
I’m an Australian children’s author, community safety and emergency preparedness educator.
For more than 20 years, I’ve been involved in emergency response, preparedness and community service, and those experiences have helped shape the stories I now create for children.
I believe children can learn important safety lessons without being frightened or overwhelmed.
That’s why I use stories, adventure and memorable Australian characters to help young readers explore ideas like preparedness, teamwork, courage, communication and helping others.
Through adventures such as the Bushfire Buddies, I hope children can learn that being a good helper starts with some simple things:
Stay calm. Think carefully. Work together. Help others.
Most of all, I want my stories to make important safety lessons easier to understand, easier to remember and fun to discover.
Because I believe:
“You don’t have to be a grown-up to start learning how to be a great helper”
