Pippa Goodhart

NCBF05
Northumberland (9th), Stockton (10th)

Having studied history at university, Pippa Goodhart completed a PGCE and taught as an infant school teacher before working for Heffer’s Children’s Bookshop in Cambridge. She began writing in 1993, when staying at home to look after her three daughters. Watching her children grow-up has given her material for her stories, and reminded her of her own childhood experiences.

Flow was the runner-up for the Kathleen Fidler Award, and also shortlisted for the Smarties Prize. Ginny’s Egg was shortlisted for the Young Telegraph Award. She has also written two Maxine and Minnie stories, Friends Forever and Kind of Twins.
