Fluke scoops the pool!

Thrilled to say that Fluke, written by Lesley Gibbes and illustrated by yours truly, recently won the Royal Zoological Society of NSW Whitley Award for Best Book in the category of Young Children's Book.

A big thankyou to the Zoological Society and also to Lesley for her beautiful tale and to Jane Covernton at Working Title Press and also to HarperCollins who have been such champions of our book since taking over Working Title Press and also to my lovely agent Margaret Connolly.
