MARGARET MAHY

 WHO'S MARGERET MAHY?

A famous NZ author called Margaret Mahy tried to write a book when she was seven because she loved to read books and since she loved books so much, she wrote one herself!

When Margaret Mahy was seven her mum was a teacher and her dad was a builder.

Then a few years later when Margaet Mahy grew up and wrote many books,she started to get some rewards like Best Children's Author and the Esther Glen Award.

Margret Mahy is famous for poems and New Zealand books like 'Down the Back of the Chair'.

I  think that Margaret Mahy is a terrific New Zealand children's author because she is hard working and she writes my favourite books and poems

By Christina.

  1. Great biography, Christina! I really like the way you have written about her life in time order using paragraphs and some time connectives. How awesome that you opened with a question to hook your readers in!

    We've read 'Down the Back of the Chair' in class which was fantastic but I would like to read more of Margaret Mahy's poems. Can you suggest one I could read, please?

  2. I love the wigs that Margaret Mahy wears as she loves colour and always dresses in fun clothes.
