Carlo Giacco has spent three decades telling stories with music. An award-winning Australian composer and orchestrator—and graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music—his music has carried the emotional heartbeat of television series, feature films, documentaries, and concert halls around the world.

With his debut children’s books, Carlo trades the musical baton for the camera lens and written word, bringing his signature sense of wonder to young readers. Driven by a passion for multisensory storytelling, he spearheaded character development and captured the book’s vibrant world through his custom photography. When he isn’t composing music or dreaming up new stories, Carlo can be found exploring the stunning Australian landscapes that inspire his work. He lives in Sydney, Australia.
