Author Biography
Emily Child is an actor and writer. Her writing comes by letting her own childhood memories grow wild and turn into stories for littler people. Child grew up in Johannesburg and moved to Cape Town to study Theatre and Performance at the University of Cape Town (UCT). She is a full-time actress and daydreamer. If she is not working on stage or in film, she says she "can be found looking out of windows, wondering". Child’s first book, Jeff and George and the Totem Pole, was published in 2014 by Penguin Books and illustrated by Julia Anastasopoulos. Her debut Imagnary House picture book, Lucy & Mum’s Shoes (illustrated by Warwick Kay), is based on a very real obsession with the sound of things and a wish that humans didn’t rush the process of growing up. Listen to Your Diddalum is her latest publication with Imagnary House, illustrated by the imaginative Maria Lebedeva, which explores feelings for children in the most incredible way. Her upcoming Imagnary House titles include: Jeff and George and the Totem Pole (second edition), and more yet to be announced.
