Children’s authors featured on the School Reading List

Children’s authors featured in our school reading lists

Below is a list of all the authors featured in children’s, teen and young adult book recommendation lists on this site. On each children’s author page there is also a link to the recommended reading lists on this website that feature that author, popular books by that writer, links to resources, social media and the author’s website, and where available, a short biography or a link to Wikipedia.

Our team of experienced teachers, librarians, home educators and parents have compiled a broad and representative list of authors from around the world to ensure that all aspects of children’s and YA literature have been represented. We’ve been particularly keen to include authors who include diverse and relatable characters in their stories and YA novels where at least one of the main characters is from a minority. We’ve also ensured that writers whose books contain themes of social class, civil rights, racism, celebrating our uniqueness, immigration, refugees and the effects of war have been promoted.
