About Andy Griffiths

Andy Griffiths is one of Australia’s funniest writers for children. His books have sold over 4 million copies worldwide, have featured on the New York Times bestseller lists, and have won over 40 Australian children’s choice awards.

In 2008 Just Shocking! was the first book to win all six children’s choice awards in one year. Andy has also been a singer in a punk band, an English high school teacher and worked as an editor and publisher of educational books focusing on English and writing. As Andy writes, ‘The world of children’s book should be really wild and free like rock ‘n’ roll. That’s where I take a lot of my inspiration, along with lashings of Astonishing Tales comics, Cole’s Funny Picture Books, MAD Magazine, Dr Seuss, Lewis Carroll and Enid Blyton.’ Most recently, Andy Griffiths’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Just Macbeth!, toured Australia to glowing reviews.

About Terry Denton

Terry Denton is one of those lucky people who can both write and illustrate. He has written more than twenty children’s books himself and collaborated on countless more with some of Australia’s most popular children’s authors.

Terry has a sense of what interests and amuses kids. His books are noisy, humorous, colourful, dramatic, wild, imaginative and always a challenge to the reader's lateral thinking skills. Then there is that devious sense of humour too.

He was born in Melbourne in 1950, the second youngest of five boys.  His mind grew wild and chaotic as a result of being trapped in a big house with his four brothers for the first eighteen years of his life.

Terry’s love of drawing and science lead him to study Architecture. But he soon became unhappy with that course, left Uni and set about discovering what kind of artist he really wanted to be.

Over the next seven years he tried animation, painting, theatre, etching, sculpture, cartooning, and worked part-time with a friend running a music shop.

In 1984 he wrote and illustrated Felix and Alexander. It was published in 1985 and won the CBC Picture Book of the Year in 1986.

In 1991-92 Terry worked for the Australian Children’s Television Foundation on Lift Off acknowledged as one of the most innovative children’s TV shows produced in Australia. He spent a year helping to devise the program, and another year designing the puppets and the look of the program.

He has illustrated more than 100 books, twenty of which he has also written. He won both the Multi-cultural Book of the Year and the Best Designed Picture Book in 1993. In 2003 and 2008 he was shortlisted for the Aurealis Award.

His work has also won more than 40 children’s choice awards throughout Australia. In 2008 Just Shocking! won all six children’s choice award in Australia. He has also been shortlisted by the CBCA many times.

Terry spends part of each year talking to school kids and doing workshops, when he can be coaxed away from his studio in bayside Melbourne.
