Autorenporträt
Nature, science, a lifelong love of reading about animal characters! For Gillian Richardson, this has been the perfect mix for writing 21 children's books, including both fiction (picture books, chapter books, novels), and nonfiction. Bestsellers, Kaboom! Explosions off All Kinds, and 10 Plants That Shook the World, won international awards. Recent ebook publications include Ollie Buggins, Detective? and Take Me With You, both chapter books for ages 6-8. A collection of short stories for ages 9-12, An Instinct for Survival: Ten Nature Adventures, is rich in detail about each animal's lifestyle and environment. Readers glimpse the constant struggle for survival, and a dramatic moment when everything depends on instinct. For older readers, Seasons at Shiregreene is a memoir that recounts years spent in Prince Edward Island
