Deborah Frenkel

VIC
“When I was a little kid, I desperately wanted magical powers. I wanted to be able to fly, and go to fantastical places, and have an everlasting cake that didn’t get smaller no matter how much you ate from it. Then I learned to read. I discovered I could do these things (and more!) in books. Reading is amazing! It’s like a loophole in the fine print of reality.”

Deborah Frenkel is a Melbourne-based writer of books, billboards, and even the words on the back of cereal boxes. Her writing for children includes picture books about nature, imagination, and different kinds of belonging.
