Kaz Hutchison is an award-winning artist known for her captivating mixed media creations.  

All of the intricate illustrations in both Undercover Coco books were created from her hand painted originals. 

Kaz has exhibited in a number of notable galleries and her pieces are cherished in collections across Australia. 

Undercover Coco is inspired by the real-life Coco, an inquisitive and intelligent dog who has always loved exploring the bush and observing the various wildlife and farm animals that live nearby.

Joining Undercover Coco in the The Boot Loot and the Poo Clue, P.I. Puppies Rocco and Ruby (Private Investigators or Poo Inspectors - you decide!) are inspired by the real-life Rocco and Ruby.

Unlike the book character, Ruby quite likes licking wildlife poo! Just like the book, Rocco enjoys a good wildlife poo munch!
