Bob Graham - Illustrator

Bob Graham lives in Australia with his wife, Carolyn, a printmaker who makes landscapes out of lino and wood. They have two grown-up children, Naomi, a musician and refugee worker living in London, and Peter, an artist in Melbourne making big, beautiful, ethereal paintings in oil. They have two grandchildren, Oliver and his older sister Rosie - and to them he is "Bob" rather than "Grandad" (somehow that name has the feeling of pipes, carpet slippers and rocking chairs; and he's not quite ready for that). He reads them books (mostly other people's and, very occasionally, his own), and they just blob around and go to the park, and things like that. Like a grandad and grandchildren are supposed to do.

Bob Graham's books are well known for their simplicity and humour, and many have been award-winners, including Oscar's Half Birthday; Buffy (Smarties Book prize silver award winner) and Let's Get a Pup (shortlisted for the 2002 Kate Greenaway medal; winner Boston Globe-Horn book award.) He won the 2000 Smarties Gold medal for Max, the 2003 Kate Greenaway medal for Jethro Byrde, and the Australian Children's Book of the Year Award four times. How to Heal a Broken Wing won the Charlotte Zolotow award, and was shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Literary Award and the 2009 Kate Greenaway medal. Other titles include Queenie the Bantam (highly commended for the Kate Greenaway medal); Dimity Dumpty; and Brand New Baby.
