Alison Lester
Alison Lester is one of Australia's most popular and bestselling creators of children's books.
She has won many awards, including the 2005 Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Picture Book of the Year Award for Are We There Yet? and the 2012 CBCA Eve Pownall Book of the Year Award for One Small Island.
Her picture books include Running With the Horses, a story based on the evacuation of the world-famous Lipizzaner horses from the Spanish Riding School in Vienna during World War Two; One Small Island, about the possibility of hope and environmental preservation for a World Heritage listed island and for the world itself; Sophie Scott Goes South about a little girl's voyage to Antarctica and the sense of wonder that it brings; and Kissed by the Moon, a lyrical celebration of the natural world and all that it has to offer a child.
Meet Alison Lester
Alison Lester was born in Victoria in 1952, and spent her childhood growing up on a farm that overlooked the sea. She went to boarding school at St Margaret’s School in Victoria, and earned a higher diploma in teaching from the Melbourne Teacher’s College. Here, she trained as a secondary arts and crafts teacher.
While she loved teaching, she hated the routine of school. When she had her first child, she wanted to be able to work from home, so she called the Oxford University Press and asked for a job. She landed an interview, showed them her folio, and got a job as an illustrator.
She spent five years illustrating other people’s works before she tried writing one of her own. That’s why she wrote and illustrated Clive Eats Alligators, and how she started her career as both an author and illustrator.
Today, Alison lives on a farm in the Victorian countryside. She spends part of each year travelling to schools around Australia, helping students and teachers develop their own stories.
What kind of books does Alison Lester write and illustrate?
She is a bestselling author and illustrator of children's books, primarily picture books and early readers that celebrate nature, animals, travel and imaginative play; some works draw on history and environmental themes.
Which are some of Alison Lester's best-known titles?
Notable titles referenced include Magic Beach, Are We There Yet?, One Small Island, Kissed by the Moon, Imagine, My Farm, Running With the Horses, Sophie Scott Goes South, Clive Eats Alligators and the Noni the Pony books.
Has Alison Lester won any major awards for her books?
Yes. She won the 2005 Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Picture Book of the Year for Are We There Yet? and the 2012 CBCA Eve Pownall Book of the Year for One Small Island, among other honours.
Are any of her books part of a series or feature recurring characters?
Yes. She has series and recurring characters, for example the Clive Eats Alligators series and the Noni the Pony books; many other titles are standalone picture books.
Where is a good place to start if I'm new to Alison Lester's work?
For lyrical picture-book introductions try Kissed by the Moon or Imagine; for classic Australian childhood stories try My Farm or Are We There Yet?; for early-reader series try the Noni the Pony books or the Clive Eats Alligators titles.
