Philip’s work has received many accolades, including multiple Honours from the Children’s Book Council of Australia, making the list for the Kate Greenaway Medal, representing Australia at the IBBY Awards, and taking home the inaugural State Library of NSW Russell Prize for Humour Writing.Philip grew up in England’s Lake District, just down the road from Mrs Tiggy-Winkle’s place. He followed his heart to Australia in his early 20s, and now lives with his young family on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

There are so many sumptuous non-fiction books these days, packed with everything there is to know about every subject, from dinosaurs and space to every single branch on the tree of life. So it was only a matter of time before we got a clever book celebrating all the stuff we don’t know.[…] Oddly enlightening.
