A LETTER FROM THE AUTHOR

Hi everyone, my name’s Rebecca Young and I write picture books. Cool job, huh?

I have LOVED reading and writing for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was really lucky — my mum was a primary school teacher who knew how important books were for kids, and she always made sure my brothers and I had plenty to read at home. Sometimes, during the school holidays when Mum was preparing her classroom for a new term, I’d tag along and park myself next to the bookshelves for hours. There were so many new stories waiting for me! Those were perfect days for a kid like me. My favourite picture books were often written in rhyme. There was something so lovely and encouraging about the anticipation of language within rhythm and rhyme, and I’m sure this helped me grow as a reader and writer. Reading took me beyond my suburban life to new worlds, or simply into other homes where I could walk, run, or dance in someone else’s shoes for a while. I especially loved reading about characters succeeding against all odds or expectations.

I had so much fun writing my own poems and stories too. Sometimes I made my own books with folded paper and cardboard, plus covers with blurbs on the back. I always dreamed of writing a real book one day . . .

I am beyond thrilled that my book The Speedy Sloth has been selected as the ALIA National Simultaneous Storytime book for 2023. I still can’t believe it. I wish I could go back in time and tell my smaller self all about it. She’d be happy with just one kid reading her story. But more than two million . . . All at the same time?! Incredible!
