Jane Smith
Author and librarian Jane Smith has a passion for Australian history and bushrangers in particular. With thirteen books on the subject published since 2014, and with titles receiving award nominations in the ABIA and CBCA awards and glowing reviews nationally, it appears that Jane’s fascination with Australian history is shared by children, parents and teachers alike!
In 2015, Captain Thunderbolt from her much-loved Australian Bushranger series was shortlisted in the 2015 ABIA Awards. Shoot-out from the Rock, the first in her new series, Tommy Bell Bushranger Boy, followed suit as a 2017 CBCA Book of the Year notable. The books teach younger readers about the colourful lives of our bushranging legends and the times they lived in. Her meticulous research offers an insight that goes beyond the surface into the personalities of her ‘characters’ and debunks a few well-known myths and ‘facts’ along the way.
Jane’s clever and entertaining series has been written with not only a flare for fun and reader engagement but also with the Australian National Curriculum in mind. The seventh book in the Tommy Bell series was released in February 2019.
Pat Kan is a talented and versatile artist, illustrator, and graphic designer. He has illustrated several children’s books, including The Australian Bushranger series and the Tommy Bell Bushranger series, as well as picture books like There’s a Koa.
