That book won the 2005 Children's Book Council Book of the Year-Early Childhood Medal and has sold over a million copies in Australia. Mem and Judy have since created four more books together, including Good Night Sleep Tight and its companion, Bonnie and Ben Rhyme Again. Picture books that Judy has written as well as illustrated include Yellow is My Colour Star, These Are My Hands/These Are My Feet, and The Story of Growl. Judy is also a cartoonist and her work has been regularly published in the Age, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Canberra Times and the Australian.
