Zoe Grant

​

​

Zoe Grant, born in Auckland (NZ) in 2014, is six years old at the time her debut poetry collection ‘Bat Girl’ is published.

 

She started writing poetry with her mother Sherry Grant since June 2020 (as NZ came out of its first COVID-19 lockdown) and has since provided her mother with much inspiration.

 

All of the poems included in this book were either inspired by Zoe’s artworks or written at least partially by her.

 

Zoe plays the piano. She also loves to dance impromptu and sing her own made-up songs. Zoe enjoys writing poetry, drawing and helping Mummy around the house.
