Aleesah Darlison is an award-winning Australian children’s author who writes picture books, chapter books and novels.

Her much-loved stories promote courage, understanding, anti-bullying, self-belief, friendship, teamwork and environmental themes. In 2015, she won the Environment Award for Children’s Literature (Non-Fiction) for her picture book, Our Class Tiger.

In 2012, she was shortlisted for the same award for her picture book, Warambi.

In the past six years, Aleesah has published over thirty-five books including Stripes in the Forest: The Story of the Last Wild Thylacine, Awesome Animal Stories for Kids, the Netball Gems Series, the Unicorn Riders Series, the Totally Twins Series, Ash Rover: Keeper of the Phoenix, Puggle’s Problem, and Mama and Hug.

When Aleesah isn’t creating entertaining and enchanting stories, she’s usually looking after her four energetic and imaginative children.
