Lana Spasevski is a Sydney based author of contemporary junior fiction and picture books. Her work celebrates resilience, leadership and community spirit, and is inspired by the curiosity and joy of her two young daughters, affectionately known as her book butterflies.
Lana’s debut picture book Max’s Dinosaur Feet (New Frontier Publishing, 2019), illustrated by Penelope Pratley, was featured on Play School Story Time. She followed this with Upside Down Friday (EK Books, 2021), a collaboration with illustrator Nicky Johnston, which was proudly showcased at the Sydney Writers’ Festival Family Day.
Lana is best known for the Sadie series (Affirm Press, 2023), a five book junior fiction collection including A Sprinkle of Sadie, A Spoonful of Sadie, A Swirl of Sadie, A Slice of Sadie and A Stockingful of Sadie. These titles blend warmth, humour and empowerment, and the resilient Sadie has become a firm favourite among young readers across Australia.
Outside of writing, Lana enjoys treasure hunting in bookshops and attempting messy home bakes. Her books reflect a deep commitment to joyful, values driven storytelling that helps children feel seen, inspired and included.
