Julia Donaldson
Julia Donaldson is an English author and playwright, best known for her popular rhyming stories for children, especially those illustrated by Axel Scheffler. She originally wrote songs for children's television but has concentrated on writing books since the words of one of her songs, "A Squash and a Squeeze," were made into a children's book in 1993. She has written over 200 books and served as the UK Children's Laureate from 2011 to 2013. Her works have been adapted into animated movies and stage productions. Donaldson became Britain's best-selling author in January 2025.
