The Official Blurb

Kyle is one of New Zealand’s finest and most eclectic writers. From multi-layered picture books Old Hu-hu, Kiss!Kiss! Yuck!Yuck! and Melu  to laugh-out-loud junior fiction series – notably Dinosaur Rescue and Dragon Knight; memoir (Faking it: my life in transition) to historical fiction (Sewing Moonlight), her titles have been translated into eighteen languages and won numerous awards including Children’s Book of the Year.

She was Children’s Writer-in-Residence at Otago University in 2011 and President of the New Zealand Society of Authors from 2013-2017.

Originally from Brisbane, Kyle lives with her wife, Marion, two contented tomcats, Monty and Rupert; Hanni and Nanni the boisterous boer goats; Liese and Lotte the fluffy Shropshire sheep; 22 chickens and a rooster called Robert, in a self-built house with a grass roof near the sleepy village of Millers Flat. When she’s not writing she’s either searching for hidden eggs or exploring the exciting world she discovered in her closet.
