Jacqueline Harvey worked in schools for many years but has had a
passion for storytelling since she was a child.
She is the author of the popular Alice-Miranda, Clementine Rose,
Kensy and Max and Willa and Woof series, which have sold almost two
million copies in Australia alone. In 2022, she released a picture
book, That Cat, illustrated by one of her former students, Kate
Isobel Scott. Jacqueline's books have received numerous
shortlistings and awards while her picture book, The Sound of the
Sea, was a CBCA Honour Book.
Jacqueline speaks to thousands of young people at schools and
festivals around the world, and says the characters in her books
are often made up of the best bits of children she's met over the
years. While she is not a twin, like Kensy and Max she does have
excellent powers of observation and has always thought she'd make a
great spy.
Jacqueline lives between Sydney, Australia, and Queenstown, New
Zealand, and is currently working on more Willa and Woof
adventures, several picture book projects and an exciting new
middle-grade story.
