Baby Horse Pictures Biography
Spurce(Gogle.com.pk)Alison Lester was born on the 17/11/1952 at Foster in Victoria, Australia. She grew up on a farm overlooking the sea and first rode a horse as a baby in her father’s arms. She still lives in the country and rides her horse Woollyfoot, whenever she can. Her picture books mix imaginary worlds with everyday life, encouraging children to believe in themselves and celebrate the differences that make them special.
Alison spends part of every year traveling to schools in remote areas, using her books to help children and adults write and draw about their own lives. Alison began illustrating children’s books in her late twenties. After training as a secondary art teacher she found that although she loved teaching art, she didn't like the everyday routine of school.
When her first baby, Will was born, Alison knew that she wanted to work from home, so she looked up publishers in the Yellow Pages, found Oxford University Press, rang up and asked for a job. She was lucky to be interviewed by three lovely women who could see the potential in her scrappy folio and gave her a book to illustrate. After five years of illustrating other people’s stories she found herself getting picky with their texts and had a go at writing her own. Clive Eats Alligators was the result, and she has been writing and illustrating her own stories since then.
In 1997 Alison's first children’s novel, The Quicksand Pony was published and The Snow Pony followed in 1999. "I hope I can continue to write both “chapter books” and picture books,” she said at the time “My heart is always with the little kids, but as my own children get older I find myself more and more interested in novels".
