Jacque Duffy is an award-winning author and illustrator from North Queensland, Australia. She has made significant contributions to children's literature with her distinctive storytelling and illustrative style. Residing on a picturesque 30-acre property surrounded by rainforest and farms, Jacque draws inspiration from her natural surroundings to create engaging stories and vibrant illustrations. Jacque's impressive body of work includes twelve written and thirteen illustrated children's books. Her "That's Not A...!" series, comprising seven books, gained recognition and was incorporated into schools and libraries by the Queensland State Government. These books not only educate children about various aspects of rural life but also serve as a bridge between urban and rural communities. One notable project in this series, used by mental health groups, aided children affected by natural disasters in Australia and New Zealand, demonstrating the therapeutic potential of her work. The series has also been digitized for special needs children by the Queensland Education Department. Her standalone titles, "The Bear Said Please" published by Wombat Books in 2014, and the self-published "ANZAC-The Story of a Little Goat" in 2015, have been included in the National Curriculum Grammar Strategies books alongside works by prominent Australian authors such as Mem Fox, Jackie French, Jeannie Baker, and Narelle Oliver. This inclusion underscores the educational value and quality of her books. Jacque's versatility as an illustrator is evident in her ability to work across various mediums, including watercolor, oil, and digital art. She believes in tailoring her illustrative style to suit the narrative of each project, enhancing the story without overshadowing it. Her fine artwork has also received acclaim, winning major awards and being featured in galleries and private collections worldwide. Active in the literary and artistic communities, Jacque is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and other professional organizations. Her contributions to children's literature, particularly in promoting an understanding of rural life and providing emotional support through storytelling, have made her a beloved figure in both educational and literary circles (AustLit: Discover Australian Stories) (JacketFlap) (Bookshop) (Ministerial Media Statements).…Jacque Duffy is an award-winning author and illustrator from North Queensland, Australia.
