About Candy Gourlay

Candy Gourlay was born in the Philippines, grew up under a dictatorship and met her husband during a revolution. Growing up, she wondered why books only featured pink-skinned children who lived in worlds that didn’t resemble her tropical home in Manila. It took her years to learn that Filipino stories too, belong in the pages of books. She has been shortlisted for many prizes including the Waterstones and the Blue Peter Prize (Tall Story), the Guardian Prize (Shine) and the Costa and Carnegie (Bone Talk). She has also written picture books, children’s non fiction and early readers. Her most recent book Wild Song was published to widespread acclaim. Candy has performed at the Hay Festival and recently in a Booktrust livestream to 1,100 schools. She loves making comics and waging war on the snails in her garden. ‘Wild Song is a stunning achievement’ The Bookseller. ‘Vividly imagined.’ Howie Severino ‘Heart-wrenchingly beautiful.’ Teen Librarian
