About the author
Bren MacDibble
28 books83 followersBren lives in Kalbarri on the amazing Coral Coast of Western Australia.
Her first children's novel: How to Bee (2017) won multiple awards, The Dog Runner (2019) and Across the Risen Sea (2020) also won and were shortlisted in multiple awards. The Raven's Song (2022) written with the amazing award-winning Zana Fraillon, has recently been launched.
All her novels are packed full of wild adventures and feature children surviving environmentally changed futures. They are stories that don't mask the realities of the world children see all around them, but do offer hope, safe fictional exploration of climate issues and examples of resilience.
Bren grew up on the land in NZ, and hopes that while children enjoy these wild adventures with colourful characters, they're also acquiring ideas and language to express themselves in whatever future awaits. "It's only by talking about it that children can express their fears and develop the critical thinking they'll need to create the solutions in the future. The natural instinct to turn away from difficult discussions has not served us well so far.'

This little chapter book is not actually written by me. I just think all the Gigglers Greens got attributed to me by accident? But Gigglers are awesome books and every school should have a reading set. The illustrations are incredible. They're developed for graded reading for educational purposes and designed to make kids giggle and available from Blake Education Australia in hard copy also their Reading Eggs online. They're laid out like chapter books with chapter headings, glossaries and teacher notes built right in. Gigglers have full colour illustrations so kids can move through the ranks of red, blue, green, and not miss leaving picture books behind while they're learning to read. This is learning to read the fun way.
