With a career that started in television and film, Brian Harrison-Lever later lectured in design and drawing at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. His first picture book, In Flanders Fields, won the Children’s Book Council of Australia Picture Book of the Year Award in 2003 and was short listed for other awards. Two follow-up books The Call of the Osprey and Photographs in the Mud have attracted critical acclaim.
