An Author's Story with Amelia McInerney

Joining Sharon Callen on the podcast is Amelia McInerney, a humorous picture book author based in Canberra, Australia.

Amelia is the author of Who Fed Zed?, a zany picture book about a gluten-intolerant goldfish which she produced with Adam Nickel, the illustrator of the phenomenally successful No One Likes a Fart.

Her other titles include The Book Chook illustrated by Connah Brecon (a CBCA Notable Book, also short-listed for the Speech Pathology Australia Book of the Year), My Bird, Bertie, illustrated by Shane McG and the internationally published Bad Crab, illustrated by Philip Bunting.

In this interview, Amelia talks about:

• How and why she became an author
• The back story to her stories
• The power behind her writing, and how it impacts her audiences
• The impact of Bookweek
• The writing inspiration Amelia has seen in schools
• How children’s literature supports children learning to read

And much more!
