A few years, and 16,994 kilometers (10,560 miles), later he found himself in Sydney, working as a journalist. He has written for many publications; Bodypedia’s tales from your entrails, for example, began as a column in The Weekend Australian Newspaper.
Adam has also spent many years working in advertising as a writer and creative director. (It’s a jingle out there.) His agency, emotivate, started in 2009. Adam’s other books are There’s a Worm on My Eyeball! (Random House): stories for kids about infectious diseases. And Who’s Who in the Alphabet Zoo?: Can You Guess?, which he wrote for his eldest daughter, Matilda (Ruby still needs a book).
