| Gregory Rogers was born in 1957 and lives in Brisbane. He studied fine art at the Queensland College of Art and worked in the public service for many years before teaching himself graphic design and taking up freelance illustration in 1987. His first major illustration commissions were book covers of young adult novels for University of Queensland Press, and he has since illustrated scores of book covers for many publishers and has illustrated a large number of educational and trade children’s picture books. Among these are Auntie Mary’s Dead Goat by Margaret Card, Way Home by Libby Hathorn, Running Away From Home by Nigel Gray, Tracks, Lucy’s Bay and The Rainbow by Gary Crew, and many more. In 1995 Gregory was the first Australian illustrator to win the prestigious UK Kate Greenaway Medal for his illustrations in Way Home, which also won a Parents’ Choice award in the USA and was shortlisted for the ABPA book design awards. His book, The Boy, the Bear, the Baron, the Bard was shortlisted for the CBCA’s Book of the Year: Younger Readers award and was included on the New York Times 10 Best Books of the Year list in 2004. The next book in the series was Midsummer Knight, published in 2006, and following that, The Hero of Little Street in 2009. |
