Graham Davey Citation

Sally Rippin
Author

The Graham Davey Citation is presented by the YABBA Council to a book or person that through craft or contribution has made an impact on Australian Children’s literature. This is the only award where children don’t vote, this is an honorary award from the YABBA Council.

This year we acknowledged Sally Rippin for her amazing body of work in children’s literature.

Sally Rippin is Australia’s highest-selling female author. She has written over 50 books, including the ‘Billy B Brown’ series and ‘Polly and Buster’, and is published in eighteen countries.

2021 marks the 10th year that Sally’s books have been shortlisted. In 2014, ‘Bille B Brown: The Best Project’ won the YABBA for Younger Readers.

Sally mentors many emerging creators and supports numerous worthy causes.

Congratulations again Sally Rippin, YABBA’s 2021 Graham Davey Citation recipient.
