Give Peas a Chance

Morris Gleitzman grew up in England and came to Australia when he was 16. He was a frozen-chicken thawer, sugar-mill rolling-stock unhooker, fashion-industry trainee, student, department-store Santa, TV producer, newspaper columnist and screenwriter. Then he had a wonderful experience. He wrote a novel for young people. Now, after 42 books, he’s an internationally bestselling children’s author. In 2018 and 2019 he was the Australian Children’s Laureate.

Ruth Schoenheimer is an actor, singer and mother who has read countless children's books in her time, but was particularly thrilled to narrate Give Peas a Chance as she's a big fan of Morris Gleitzman.
