Annotation:-The author of “Look see, look at me" Leonie Norrington was born in Darwin, the third of nine children, and grew up at Barunga Aboriginal community, south of Katherine. Leonie Norrington is a successful children’s author and television presenter. She is the State Finalist Australia's Local Hero 2012. Leonie Norrington is a successful children’s author and television presenter but her career path was anything but conventional. Her childhood spanned two cultures that were worlds apart the culture of the Barunga community where she lived and her Irish Catholic heritage. So her education, way of life and spirituality were steeped in both the Aboriginal and western cultures. She discovered her talent as a story-teller; a talent she has harnessed to help Aboriginal people find their own voice through the written word. Now an award winning children’s author, her books are a reflection of her childhood and the ability of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to live together in respect and trust, despite differences in cultural traditions Leonie is also well-known for her role as a presenter on ABC television’s Gardening Australia, where she shares her extensive knowledge of organic horticulture. Leonie Norrington grew up at Barunga Aboriginal community. Her previous children's books include The Barrumbi Kids, Croc Bait, The Devil You Know, and The Spirit of Barrumbi.
 Dee Huxley’s gorgeous, free-flowing illustrations capture a story that is perfect for reading and acting aloud. She is the illustrator of such children's picture books as Chance; Come Out, Come Out and Limpopo Lullaby.
This story tells us a young child is excited for all of the things he can do now that he is three years old. “Look, see, look at me, I’m so much bigger now I’m three.”(Blurb on the book cover)
