Colin Thieles advice for other future authors starting off a new book
“A magpie can be happy or sad: sometimes so happy that he sits on a high, high gum tree and rolls the sunrise around in his throat like beads of pink sunlight; and sometimes so sad that you would expect the tears to drip off his beak. This magpie was like that.”
Colin Thiele gets his ideas from dreams, news and his lifetime which inspired him to make his books to best of his abilities. Colin Thieles favourite book was Storm Boy and how it affected his life and how popular it became. The way he wrote it he felt like it touched millions in the heart. He would be fascinated that 50 years after he wrote Storm Boy it is still being read by children at Schools around the world.
