Born in Whyalla and moving to Adelaide in her teens, Tania Ingram became a child psychologist before taking a break to spend more time with her family, which was when she began writing stories for children. Her Jinny and Cooper series evolved from Tania's daughter begging her to write a story about a magical guinea pig. Oma's Buttons was inspired by the special relationship between Tania's own daughter and her Oma. Tania lives in the Adelaide hills with her family.
