Wendy

Description

Wendy doesn't want to be just any old chicken. She wants ADVENTURE. She wants EXCITEMENT. She wants TO BE A STAR! And then a travelling circus comes to town ...'This chicken is destined for great things!' The Pecking Order Post 'Gus Gordon's delightful Wendy is a trill-seeking chicken with enough ambition and imagination for a hundred henhouses.' URSULA DUBOSARSKY

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. He attributes this to his love of Kenneth Grahame's Wind in The Willows. Gus's first picture book, Wendy, was a Notable Book in the 2010 Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Picture Book of the Year Awards. His second picture book, Herman and Rosie, now published in twelve countries, has been internationally acclaimed and awarded. Gus's latest picture book Somewhere Else will be published by Penguin Random House Australia in 2016.
