Gigi Le Flufy | Children's Writer

A Little About Me...

I could write about the first story I ever wrote when I was seven years old. It was about squirrels.

Or I could write about where I grew up in England, surrounded by forests, fields, and an owl who hooted goodnight, all night!

Do you know the hardest thing to write about? ...Yourself!

Or I could write about where I am now, in Vancouver, Canada, living and working on the unceded traditional territory of the hǝn̓q̓ǝmin̓ǝm̓ speaking xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) People.

I could write about where I write.

(Or show you in this picture).

Or write a list of some of my favourite creators now:

Aaron Becker

Sophie Blackall

Peter Brown

Kallie George

Julie Flett

Elly Mackay

Oliver Jeffers

Charles Mackay

Aikiko Miyakoshi

Or I could write a list of some of my favourite books as kid:

The Snowman,

I'll Always Love You,

Funnybones,

The Giant Jam Sandwich,

Can't You Sleep, Little Bear?

Mr. Men Series,

The Tales of Peter Rabbit,

St. Trinians,

Just William.

Or I could write about him.

My favorite writing buddy:

Burly Bubba Man

Sniggly Bum Burls.

But do you know the easiest thing to write about?

...Everything you love.
