Sally Murphy was born in Perth, Western Australia. She now lives
with her husband and six children in a tiny town in the Wheatbelt,
halfway between Perth and Kalgoorlie, where there are only sixty
people in residence. Sally also writes reviews for Reading Time,
the magazine of the Children's Book Council of Australia, and runs
a website which reviews Australian books.
Heather Potter is an illustrator based in Melbourne. With her
husband, Mark Jackson, she has co-illustrated several books
including the WBA picture book Not Like Georgie (2008).
Written in verse, it is an utterly charming and heart-warming
children’s story. Pearl is an endearing girl and the black and
white illustrations by Heather Potter only add to her and the
book's appeal.
*The Library Things*
Pearl Verses the World would make a great acquisition for
libraries, and be an excellent choice for study in the primary
school. It is a novel that offers a voice to every child who needs
one.
*The Book Chook*
This novel is so well written, beautiful descriptions both comical
and thoughtful are in plentiful supply and this is the over riding
feature of this novel – the talent of the author shines through on
each page.
