Has won a number of awards for his pencil work, but likes to work with pastels, ink and watercolour too. Susan Green grew up by the beach and in country Victoria. She always wanted to write and illustrate books, but gave away her art studies and teaching to concentrate on writing when she won a short story competition. She has published several children's books, but The Truth About Verity Sparks is her first book with Walker Books.
