What a delight to meet Aimee Atkins!
She has simply had the most amazing career in the Australian entertainment industry, which all started from a childhood dream to play Dorothy the Dinosaur and once Aimee achieved this first mile stone nothing would stop her.
She is spirited, beautiful and an absolute delight to chat with. You really can't help but be infected by her warmth and excitement for children.
Her passion will drive her to endless successes and it's exciting to watch her bright future unfold.
I know you will enjoy my interview with her as much as you will enjoy her books.

For the
past 14 years Aimee has worked in the children's entertainment industry, in
both television and live productions. She has developed live shows,
choreographing, performing and managing staff on tours with the ABC and The
Wiggles.
She was once Dorothy the Dinosaur, and has since worked with the ABC
choreographing brands such as Dirtgirlworld, Bananas in Pajamas and Fifi and
the Flowertots
HAVING worked in children’s
television and as a Mosman nanny, Aimee Atkins decided to get a wiggle on and
write her own children’s books.
Atkins originally conceived
the Billy’s Boatshed series as a television show but publishers Random House
snapped them up first. The two Billy’s Boatshed books are called MJ Saves The
Day and The Project and were launched last Friday at Clifton Gardens.
Atkins was inspired by her
three-year stint living in a Manly boatshed with brothers Jason and Paul.
“Billy is based on Paul who
would go downstairs in the boatshed and work on the boats and go out on
adventures,” she said.
The books are aimed at
preschoolers and explore themes of friendship and team work.
