Nicki Greenberg is a writer and illustrator with a special interest in sequential art narrative - a fancy way of describing comics.
Nicki's first books, The Digits series, were published when she was fifteen years old, and sold more than 380,000 copies. Since then, she has devoted most of her ink to comics, but has also written and illustrated fiction and non-fiction books for children.
At seventeen, Nicki fell in love with The Great Gatsby. Almost ten years later, she set out to pay tribute to F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel by interpreting it in comic art form. It took more than six years to complete this enormous labour of love.
This mad undertaking was followed by three years' passionate work on Shakespeare's Hamlet, which was finally staged on the page in 2010.
Nicki lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her family, their poodle and two bad cats. In her spare time she works as a lawyer.
Morris the mole is a charming story, great to read to children and to have a discussion about being confident in ones self. The illustrations is great detailed, colorful, and engaging for children. Overall great book to have to encourage children to be true to themselves.
I really like those fat-bellyed frogs. It is great to explore underground with this naughty mole. Who said lesson to be learned? Mole has move on air since he accidentally tasted the fun of flying in the air.
A delinquent, destructive mole who won't listen to the pleas of those he affects, focussed only on having his own fun, never takes responsibility, ends up flying a plane. Cute illustrations, but the lesson seems to be, do what you like, don't care who you hurt, and get away with it.
