Author & Speaker
Kathy Hoopmann
Welcome to my website! I have written over twenty books for children and adults, including picture books, novels and nonfiction, with translations into almost as many languages. All up I have around fifty of my books in different languages on my shelf. I have won, and been shortlisted for, numerous literary awards including the Children’s Book Council of Australia Award, the ALCS Educational Award (UK), the Living Now Award (US) and have five times been awarded a Nautilus Book Award (US) which is granted to ‘books that change the world’.
I hope you enjoy investigating my world.
