| Pamela
Allen is a phenomenon in the world of children's books.
In twenty-five years, she has produced thirty-two picture
books; many of which have won prestigious awards and
commendations both in Australia and overseas.
Pamela's
books are full of the music of language; they are 'fragments
of theatre', designed to be read aloud and shared between
an adult and child. Eight of Pamela's titles were adapted
for the stage by Patch Theatre Company, and performed
in Sydney Opera House. |
Pamela's
picture books have earned classic status through their
enduring popularity with the very young.
'From Pamela Allen's first publication
in 1980 it was clear that here was a creator of picture
books with all the glow, gesture, din and dance to capture
the attention, engage the imagination, teach, show,
tickle and excite small children'
