Charlotte Blay was born in 1938 in Svendborg on the island of Fyn. Besides writing children’s books, Charlotte Blay has written scripts for Danmarks Radio (the Danish broadcasting corporation) and numerous song lyrics.

She spent a period living with the street children in Honduras in order to describe their lives in her books.
