Join us for a storytime with Dave Petzold as he reads from his new picture book, We Live in a Bus.
About the author:
Dave Petzold is an author and illustrator living on Bundjalung Country in New South Wales. Dave's debut picture book, Seven Seas of Fleas, was released in 2020 with Starfish Bay Publishing. It was CBCA shortlisted for the New Illustrator Award in 2021. He also illustrated The Kindness Club, written by Kate Bullen-Casanova and released in 2022 with Bright Light Books (Hardie Grant Children's Publishing). Dave’s third picture book, We Live in a Bus, is published by Thames and Hudson.
Dave uses a mixture of traditional and digital techniques to create his illustrations, working initially with graphite pencil, ink or oil paint to create the line work and then moving to the computer to add colour and texture. Dave loves creating characters who are curious and question the status quo, and hopes that if you read his books you become curious about your world, too.
