Morris Gleitzman grew up in England and came to Australia when he was sixteen.
After university he worked for ten years as a screenwriter. Then he had a wonderful experience.
He wrote a novel for young people. Now, after 36 books, he's one of Australia's most popular children's authors.
In February 2018 Morris was chosen as the Australian Children’s Laureate for 2018-19.
