Belinda Landsberry is an award-winning
author and illustrator, as well as being a mother, grandmother, dog wrangler
and cat whisperer. She has a Diploma of Teaching with a major in Fine Arts, a
Diploma of Graphic Design, and has trained as a nurse, copywriter, primary
school teacher and art director.
Belinda's passion for words and pictures was
evident from a very young age; at just seven, she wrote and illustrated her
first picture book, entitled How to
Become a Nurse. This beloved relic delights both students and teachers
alike during Belinda's author-illustrator visits to schools for Book Week.
Belinda's best-selling debut children's picture
book, Anzac Ted, is published
internationally and was short-listed for the 2016 Western Australian Young
Reader's Book Awards. It was also featured in the Anzac Stories: Behind the Pages Exhibition 2017-2018, hosted by schools and libraries
throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Belinda grew up in Normanhurst, Sydney and now
lives on the north shore with her family.
