Andy Griffiths
In Griffiths’ award-winning Treehouse series of children's books we join the adventures of Andy and Terry as they ride in dodgem cars, take over a skate rink, and visit an ice-cream parlour with 78 flavours – all in their ever-expanding treehouse. The Treehouse series includes The 13-Storey Treehouse, The 26-Storey Treehouse, The 39-Storey Treehouse, The 52-Storey Treehouse, and The 65-Storey Treehouse.
Griffiths was born on 3 September 1961 and has loved writing from a young age. Before becoming a published author, Griffiths worked as a school teacher. During this time he discovered many young people who found books boring. He began writing short stories to make his students laugh and to prove to them that reading can be fun.
Griffiths draws inspiration from books, movies, music, and real life. His favourite authors are Dr Seuss, Enid Blyton, and Lewis Carroll. Griffith is the recipient of the Dromokeen Medal for his outstanding contribution to children’s literature and is an ambassador for The Indigenous Literary Foundation and The Pyjama Foundation. He lives in Melbourne with his family.
