The May Gibbs Literature Trust honours the contribution to Australian children's literature by May Gibbs, the creator of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, and supports today's creators of books for children in her name. Through fellowships, residencies and even the provision of simple physical space, the Trust gives authors and illustrators active and practical assistance in their creative work.
