Born and raised in the Adelaide Hills, and currently residing there with my family.

With a background in early childhood education, I have always been passionate about infant mental health and wellbeing.

An Unexpected Outcome is my first published book, and whilst it is written from my personal experience, it’s aimed at helping the many families who share this story or one of a similar nature. In addition, the book hopes to highlight the importance of the heel prick test, and how valuable and life-changing early intervention is.

I’ve sold over 160 copies world wide since the launch in early March 2020. $1 from ever book sold is being donated to the Metabolic Unit at the Adelaide Women’s and Children’s Hospital to help their amazing team continue their valuable work in regards to the newborn screening.

The book can be purchased via my website www.pennywalterauthor.com, Book Depository and Amazon.

I’ve just finished my second children’s book and hope to have it ready and available for purchase in the coming months.
