| Libby Gleeson |

Libby Gleeson was born in Young, a small town in south-western NSW. As a child, books and reading were hugely important to Libby. She remembers going to the library on a Saturday morning, borrowing five or six books and reading them all by Sunday night.
Libby has been awarded armfuls of Australian book awards, including the CBCA Award for Best Picture Book (An Ordinary Day), the CBCA Award for Best Book for Younger Readers (Hannah and the Tomorrow Room) and the CBCA Award for Best Early Childhood Book (Amy and Louis). She is frequently featured on the Premier’s Award short lists and she has also scooped her fair share of International awards, including the Bologna Ragazzi Award.
It is not surprising that in 1997 Libby was presented the Lady Cutler Award for Services to Children's Literature.
Libby works full-time and thinks that the writer’s life is pretty good! |
