Michael Wagner is the author of more than 70 books for children which include the much loved, Maxx Rumble series (20 books), six books about a delightfully silly and warm-hearted family called The Undys, the picture books Why I Love Footy, Why I Love Summer and Bear Make Den (co-written with his partner, Jane Godwin); and his self-published titles Pig Dude: He Can Do ANYTHING!, Family Hugs and the So Wrong series. Prior to becoming a children’s author, Michael worked for ten years as radio broadcaster with the ABC, wrote and produced award-winning TV animation, and penned everything from advertising copy to songs and comedy. His latest venture is Billy Goat Books, a micro-publisher which targets reluctant readers.
