"​You can't really wash ​a woolly mammoth.
But isn't it
fun to
imagine?"

​My name is Michelle Robinson and I write books about all kinds of funny, silly and improbable things.

Sharks and sausages, bears and broomsticks, kids going to space and dogs driving trucks -- it's all very real in my imagination!

My books have been published in many languages and are popular in homes, schools and libraries all over the world. I regularly visit schools in real life and over the internet. If you'd like me to visit your classroom, find out more here.

About Me

I was born in Gloucester, England, and now live in Nova Scotia, Canada; the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq People. It is an astonishingly beautiful and inspiring place to live. My desk overlooks the river, where seals and otters swim, and bald eagles hunt. 

I spend my days writing, being mum to two teenagers, doing chores, running my home and trying to organise the chaos of family life. I love making time to enjoy the ocean, forest and mountains that surround me.
