Windy Washing Day

Yvonne Low is a writer, illustrator and award-winning fine artist, creating picture books, poetry and junior fiction. While nature is her main inspiration, through her background in the performing arts as a dancer and choreographer, theatre, film, music and foreign cultures also feed her imagination. Her work is whimsical and often has a dash of humour and wordplay. Yvonne is published with Little Pink Dog Books, Christmas Press, ABC Commercial, The School Magazine, Eucalypt: a tanka journal and Poetica Christi Press. She was a finalist in the 2021 SCBWI Australian Picture Book Illustrator Awards and won a 2021 ASA/Copyright Agency Mentorship Award, for her graphic novel/picture book project. Yvonne’s debut picture book (as illustrator) was Lola and Grandpa (Little Pink Dog Books) and Windy Washing Day marks her debut as a picture book author.
