About the Author

Belinda Nelson-Cobcroft is a writer and singer from the Central Coast, NSW, Australia

Belinda grew up in Sydney, Australia and has been a professional singer for the past 25 years. She spends her time on weekends performing in a duo called The HitPit on the Central Coast of NSW where she lives with her husband, Evan and daughters Abi and Gemma.

​

During the week, she works as a session singer and does freelance voice work. Music has always been her passion although children's music was an unexpected addition to her repertoire. 

​

"I wrote Today I Saw...In the Garden back in 2010.  It came like a flood. It came so easily and fluidly that one moment I had a blank page and the next I had this very sweet poem for children. And even though my youngest, Gemma, was only 3 at time, she didn't see this until she was much older. I kept it hidden away for years until the other 2 poems came. 

 

I always told myself that "I will turn these into books one day," but it was still many years before the actual process began.   

It wasn't until they were illustrated and I could see them turning into something real, that they became songs. I must be a very slow learner, considering I've been a singer all my adult life, however, it only occurred to me in the past 2 years, to put music to them. Well, I don't mind admitting it. But it was with a huge amount of help from my duo partner, Greg Pigott at Ears that Hear Studio In Gwandalan, NSW, that they are now alive as songs that I sincerely hope your children will love. 

​

I'm excited to finally be able to share these books and songs with the world".
