Michael divides his time between his writing and running Farms for City Children, a charity which each year takes up to 3,000 children to a working farm for a week. Michael and his wife Clare were awarded MBEs this year for their work with the charity. Before the first farm opened 22 years ago, Morpurgo was a teacher and his knowledge of children’s experiences, plus his experience of farms enrich his writing enormously.
Michael Morpurgo has won the Whitbread Children’s Book Award, and the Smarties Book Prize.
