Writer

Julia Donaldson

Author of The Gruffalo, which began as a song, and of more than sixty picture books. Born in London.

Dame Julia Catherine Donaldson is a British writer and playwright, and the 2011 to 2013 Children's Laureate. She is best known for her popular rhyming stories for children, especially those illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which include The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and Stick Man. She originally wrote songs for children's television but has concentrated on writing books since the words of one of her songs, "A Squash and a Squeeze", were made into a children's book in 1993. Of her 184 published works, 64 are widely available in bookshops. The remaining 120 are intended for school use and include her Songbirds phonic reading scheme, which is part of the Oxford University Press's Oxford Reading Tree.

Cast your own birth chart

Julia Donaldson is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
