About Gus: 

Gus Gordon is an internationally acclaimed illustrator and author. He has illustrated and written over 80 books for children.

His illustrations are known for their loose and energetic line work, mixed media and humour. His writing is always anthropomorphic – where animals take the place of humans in the narrative. He attributes this to his love of Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in The Willows. His picture book ‘Herman and Rosie’ (Penguin), a musical love story set in New York, was sold at auction in New York to US publisher Neal Porter Books (Macmillan) and has since been sold into twelve countries. It has been adapted for the stage by several theatre companies, was chosen as the ‘Read for Australia’ book and won the 2013 CBCA ‘Honour Award’ for best picture book. It has also been shortlisted for the German Youth Literature Award, the Sakura Medal in Japan, the Kirico book awards in Spain, the Les Incorruptibles prize in France and the Premio Anderson Children’s Book awards in Italy.

In 2016 Gus was nominated for the prestigious 2017 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA). It is the world’s largest award for children’s and young adult literature.

Gus’s latest picture book ‘Somewhere Else’ was recently published by Penguin Australia and is soon be released in the US with Neal Porter Books.

Gus is represented by Charlie Olsen of Inkwell Management.

He lives with his wife and three kids on the Northern beaches of Sydney.
