Things you may not know about Graeme.
He has two Bengal Cats called Stella and Atticus. Stella is spotty like a leopard; Atticus is marbled like an ocelot.
He has a secret way of crushing plastic milk cartons so they take up the least room possible in the recycling bin.
He is a keen but so far unknown inventor of games, musical instruments and household appliances including a new kind of vacuum cleaner and a baby-stroller.
He has written several musicals based on his books including The Sign of the Seahorse, Gooligulch, The Worst Band in the Universe and Jungle Drums.
He has a nifty way of winding guitar leads and garden hoses so they don’t get tangled and curly when they are unwound.
He has recently rediscovered several big boxes full of old sketches and drawings that have never been published and has decided to start an Instagram post with a new drawing every day – or maybe every second day… we shall see!
He has sold over 4 million books in Australia.
