Philip Bunting is an author and illustrator, whose picture books deliberately encourage the reader to playfully poke around at the edges of their understanding. Philip's have been published in over 35 countries around the world, in almost as many languages. Philips work has received many accolades, including multiple Honours from the Childrens Book Council of Australia, making the list for the Kate Greenaway Medal, representing Australia at the IBBY Awards, and taking home the inaugural State Library of NSW Russell Prize for Humour Writing.
Philip grew up in Englands Lake District, just down the road from Mrs Tiggy-Winkles place. He followed his heart to Australia in his early 20s, and now lives with his young family on Queenslands Sunshine Coast.
