He has written over 100 novels which have been translated into many languages, and has won numerous awards including the Smarties Prize and the Whitbread Award (now the Costa Book Awards). Morpurgo started his career as a primary teacher and then moved with his wife to Devon, where they created the charity project Farms for City Children. The charity gives children from socially poor parts of cities the possibility to spend time in the country. They now have 3 farms, and Michael is patron to many other charities. He divides his time between working with children on the farm and writing. The activities provided in this resource focus on three contrasting novels: The Butterfly Lion (1996); The Kites are Flying! (2009); and Alone on a Wide Wide Sea (2006). They are designed to be fun, engaging, cross-curricular activities which should enhance the children’s enjoyment of the author’s work.
