Water Witcher Where in the World   School Resources Author Profiles   Simon French Simon French began his writing career as a thirteen year old in Sydney’s western suburbs, and had his first novel published five years later while still at high school. In the years since, his writing for children has been published in numerous overseas editions, and in Australia has earned critical acclaim and several awards, including the 1987 Children’s Book Council of Australia’s Book of the Year award for All We Know. Change the Locks was an Honour Book in 1992. His most recent book, Where in the World (published by Little Hare Books), won the 2003 NSW Premier’s Literary Award for Children’s Literature, was shortlisted for the 2003 Children’s Book Council of Australia Book of the Year: Younger Readers award, was longlisted for the 2003 Guardian Children’s Fiction prize, and has recently been nominated to the IBBY Honour List 2004. The characters in Simon’s stories often develop from the children he has worked with—from babies and toddlers in an inner-city crisis refuge, to the pupils he has taught over many years at primary schools in suburban and rural New South Wales. Simon continues to work as a teacher in a small school in Sydney’s rural outskirts.   Books By This Author Where in the World Where in the World - New Edition
