More About the Author

Since the debut of his international best-seller The Blue Day Book, Bradley Trevor Greive has become an international publishing sensation. A former Australian paratrooper, BTG left the army to pursue more creative misadventures. He has been bitten by wild monkeys and rabid bats and was accepted into the Russian cosmonaut program--though those incidents hopefully were unrelated. He spends most of his time in a tiny Tasmanian hamlet with his three very large dogs.

I bought the Bradley Trevor Grieve books after reading one in a waiting room. I instantly loved it and the ideas it expressed. I bought them to read to my children (who love the pictures) but I also find myself reading them when ever I need a new outlook on my hectic life. Simple, yet thought provoking.

I own all of Bradley Trevor Grieve's "picture" books. I discovered "The Blue Day Book" when a friend of mine really needed some encouragement so I bought one for her and one for myself. Since then I have given many of his books as gifts and have collected them all for myself. My grandchildren love to look at the pictures and it always brightens my day to read just a page or two. Gives me a whole new outlook on life at times.
