"Remember you have five senses. Use the sense of taste and smell and touch in your writing, as well as the more obvious senses of sight and hearing."

Libby Hathorn is an award-winning author, poet and librettist. She is the author of more than eighty books for children and young people.
Many of her books have been translated into several languages and adapted for stage and screen. Throughout her work run themes of positive self-esteem in children, importance of the strength and fragility of family, fun and glory in nature, all threaded through with the power of kindness and empathy in our lives.

Her work has won honours in Australia, United States, Great Britain and Holland including the Alice Award for her body of work, and the Asher Prize alongside Honour and Notable books in the Children’s Book of the Year Awards run by the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA). 

In 2020 she was awarded the Lady Cutler Award for Distinguished Service in the field of Australian Children’s Literature.
