Patchwork Fabric May Gibbs Gumnut Friends Blue 1015

May Gibbs is one of Australia’s best loved classic children’s book writers and artists.

May’s deep love of the Australian bush was portrayed in her work, engendering in children her own love of nature. The Gumnut Babies, May’s classic book about Australian bush fairies, was first published in 1916 and was followed by many other Gumnut stories including her famous creations Snugglepot & Cuddlepie.

When she died, May Gibbs bequeathed her works to The Northcott Society and Cerebral Palsy Alliance.
Through her foresight, May Gibbs has helped thousands of Australian children living with disability and their families.
