About the Author
Bruce Whatley is one of Australia's most highly regarded and talented authors and illustrators for children, both here and internationally. Bruce started his working life in advertising as an art director and illustrator and since then he has created over sixty picture books. Many of his books have won awards both in Australia and overseas, including The Ugliest Dog in the World, Looking for Crabs, Tails from Grandad's Attic, and Detective Donut and the Wild Goose Chase.
Bruce has cowritten a number of award-winning books with his wife, Rosie Smith (Whatley's Quest, Detective Donut and the Wild Goose Chase and Little White Dogs Can't Jump), and his son Ben Smith Whatley (Zoobots).
In 2002, Bruce paired with author Jackie French and illustrated Diary of a Wombat--an iconic picture book that has become an international bestseller with foreign sales to nine territories. Diary of a Wombat was the start of an extraordinary artistic collaboration that sparked the publication of Pete the Sheep, Josephine Wants to Dance, Shaggy Gully Times, Baby Wombat's Week, Christmas Wombat, and Wombat Goes to School, plus two delightful books about Queen Victoria, being Queen Victoria's Underpants and Queen Victoria's Christmas.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Bruce's talent is the breadth of his artistic ability, which includes an appealing cartoon style to realistic representations using mediums ranging from colored pencils, watercolor, acrylic and oils, and, more recently, 3D digital software.
And accompanying that talent is an intellectual depth and curiosity that sees Bruce taking on large and complex projects, such as The Beach They Called Gallipoli, which was cocreated with Jackie French and was published in 2014 to coincide with the centenary of WW1.
In 2008, Bruce completed his PhD, titled Left Hand Right Hand: implications of ambidextrous image making. In his thesis, Bruce looked at the image making of the non-dominant hand, making the fascinating discovery that in most people the ability to draw lies in the use of the "other" hand.
