Allan Ahlberg had many other jobs before he achieved his ambition of becoming a writer. Allan created award-winning picture books such as Each Peach Pear Plum and The Jolly Postman, both of which were winners of the Kate Greenaway Medal. Allan Ahlberg has published over 100 children’s books with his late wife Janet Ahlberg.
