Cath Crowley is the author of the multi–award-winning Graffiti moon as well as several other books for young adults and children.


So I’m finishing up at Derby High School in The Kimberley.

Just one more day on Friday. I’ve been lucky enough to work with very talented storytellers. Lucky enough to read stories about what it’s like to fish for Barra, what it’s like to ride a motorbike. I can now imagine the death roll of a salt water crocodile. I’ve watched long sunsets and seen stars a hundred times brighter than the ones over me in Melbourne. I’ve heard about a blood red moon.

Big thanks to the students at Derby for making me feel very welcome. And for being patient enough to answer the questions of a (very, very) curious city girl.

everyone has a secret inside, something sleeping like that yellow bird

Sometimes I can’t sleep I’m swimming in so many words

slowly, really slowly, I'm spinning song and dancing, rising voice beneath my skin
