Master of Her Craft : Margaret Wild,
single work
column
(p. 38-43)
'Australian writer Margaret Wild was short-listed in the 2022 Hans Christian Andersen Awards, to the delight of her compatriots. In her more than one hundred books for children and young adults, she has attracted universal acclaim for her splendid, highly layered writing, which is spare and yet suggestively complex. In books that canvas a wide range of challenging topics, her respect for young readers, and her unwillingness to shield children from uncomfortable truths, have been paramount. She is one of Australia’s most revered picturebook creators, and this acknowledgment has cemented her international reputation.' (Publication summary)
