About

Hi. My name is Karen Collum. I’m an Australian children’s author with a background in teaching. I’m currently a stay-at-home mum to my three precious boys. I am passionate about many things, but two at the top of my list are parenting and optimistic thinking skills. Big and Brave is where I combine these two passions and give you an insight into my personal philosophy of optimistic parenting. My life is chaotic, busy and sometimes overwhelming, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. God has been good to me, and I want to pass some of the blessings along.
