Raymond Huber

Raymond grew up in Christchurch, NZ. His mother worked in a library so he grew to love books. His first jobs included social work at the City Mission, gardener, Insect Research Assistant, and then a Primary School Teacher for 15 years. He has worked a lot with groups of gifted children; and as a lecturer at Teacher’s College.
He has always enjoyed writing, which has included poems, textbooks for children, and School Journal items.
Children’s books are important to Raymond: He reads and reviews them, collects them, give talks about them...and now writes them.
Science fascinates him too and he has written science for children.
He likes to travel and has recently discovered the wonders of Europe (his parents’ homeland).
He still teaches a little, write jokes and make movies for the school musicals, and runs writing workshops for children.
His wife Penelope Todd is a novelist and together they have 3 lovely grown up children. He lives in Dunedin because it’s small, friendly and green. Now the kids have left home he has space to write more. Raymond also works as an editor.
