About the Author

Susanne writes for young people to laugh, learn, love and be courageous in a challenging world. She writes for adults to explore with kids ideas that excite and empower them. As the child of refugees, story is the secret ingredient as a pathway to home and self belief. Presented with the Lifetime Social Justice Literature Award for her body of work by the International Literacy Association and an Order of Australia, Susanne’s books are recognised as capturing hope be it the joyous and playful cockatoos in ‘There’s a Gang in Our Street’ or the heroic kids in ‘Heroes of the Holocaust’. Her loved I Am Jack series has become a rite-of-passage on school bullying adapted into a play that toured across Australia and USA, while Harmony Day is at the centre of Elephants Have Wings. Endorsed by Room to Read, Cancer Council, Life Education, anti bullying, literacy, many organisations, Susanne takes her stories from the Outback to Istanbul to everywhere, because kids matter.
