About

Dr Toni Risson – mother, grandmother, children’s author

I love kids (no, I don’t want yours). I’m a mother of four, including twins, and Nana to Reuben and Levi. As a cultural historian, I’ve written everything from picture books and children’s novels to a thesis on lollies. My latest book, Brisbane’s Greek Cafes: A Million Malted Milks, was a finalist in the 2019 Queensland Literary Awards. To find out more, check this out https://greekcafesinbrisbane.wordpress.com/.
