Sara Acton is an award-winning author and illustrator. Sara grew up in the Cotswolds in England and always loved drawing, especially people and other strange creatures. She studied BA Hons Fine Art and trained as an Art Teacher in London. After teaching and practicing art in England and New Zealand Sara moved with her family to Australia. Her first picture book Ben and Duck won the 2012 Children's Book Council of Australia Crichton Award for new illustrators.
Sara Acton has generously donated an original art piece for our IBBY Australia Mini Masterpiece art auction and I have my eye set on buying this sweet image but the bidding is hot!
This image comes from Runt (CBCA Younger Readers winner 2023)
