Author of the Week: Morris Gleitzman

Our author of the week this week is Morris Gleitzman. Morris Gleitzman is an Australian children's author who writes about serious issues in funny and unexpected ways.
Did you know that Morris Gleitzman wrote his first children's novel in 1985? That is the same year that Miss Hines was born!
Before being a writer he had many jobs including being a paperboy, being Santa in a department store, a frozen chicken defroster and a fashion designer assistant! It just goes to show you can have many jobs before finding the one thing you really love doing!
Nga Manawa has a huge selection of Morris Gleitzman's books, come in, check them out and let us know what you think of them!
