Who's the Gang on Our Street?

Susanne writes for young people to laugh, learn, love, and be courageous in a challenging world. She writes for adults to explore with kids ideas that excite and empower them. As the child of refugees, story is the secret ingredient as a pathway to home and self-belief.

Presented with the Lifetime Social Justice Literature Award for her body of work by the International Literacy Association and an Order of Australia, Susanne’s books are recognised as capturing hope, be it the joyous and playful cockatoos in ‘There’s a Gang in Our Street’ or the heroic kids in ‘Heroes of the Holocaust’. Her beloved I Am Jack series has become a rite-of-passage on school bullying, adapted into a play that toured across Australia and USA, while Harmony Day is at the centre of Elephants Have Wings. Endorsed by Room to Read, Cancer Council, Life Education, and many anti-bullying and literacy organisations, Susanne takes her stories from the Outback to Istanbul and everywhere, because kids matter.

Nancy Bevington is a talented illustrator who has worked extensively in the publishing industry and illustrated some beautiful and award-winning books, including the recent publications the 1-10 and Back Again series and I Wonder. Her popular children’s book series Zen Tails has sold worldwide.
