Robyn Bavati
Children’s Author
Robyn’s first novel, Dancing in the Dark, will be published by Penguin Books in February 2010. It is about a girl from an ultra-orthodox Jewish home who develops a passion for dance. But when her parents won't let her take ballet lessons, Ditty starts to dance in secret. How long can she keep her two worlds apart? And at what cost? This dramatic and moving story is about a girl who follows her dream, and finds herself questioning everything she believes in. This is contemporary Chaim Potok.
Robyn is an award winning short-story writer who grew up in Melbourne and as an adult has lived in both Australia and Israel. She has been writing for many years and her published work includes feature articles and humorous anecdotes (for Israeli magazines and newspapers as well as for the Australian Jewish News). Robyn has run English conversation classes for non-native-speakers, taught creative dance in schools and worked as a shiatsu therapist. She is now writing and studying.
She is a wonderful presenter for schools (years 7 to 10). See our Speakers section for rates.
