About Craig Smith:
Craig Smith aka ‘Wonky Donkey man’ recently won the APRA 2018 Childrens Song of the Year with ‘Scariest Thing In The Garden’. On this brief North Island tour he will be promoting his new album "Not Just For Kids 2" and his recent crowd-funded book "The Drizzly Bear" before he takes the rest of the year off after over a decade on the road.

The Wonky Donkey, originally published in 2009, has been a household name in New Zealand and Australia for almost a decade. Thanks to a viral video with more than 150+ million views globally since August 2018 of Scottish grandmother Janice Clark giggling and reading The Wonky Donkey to her grandson, the infectious rhyming story became a viral sensation and international #1 bestseller last year. Scholastic has since reprinted two million copies to meet global demand.

Keep an eye and ear out for the upcoming new Wonky Donkey tune / tale which is due for release towards the end of the year in association with Paralympics NZ to coincide with the upcoming Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Craig Smith is full time musician and author living in Queenstown. Craig's success in music has been across many genres and includes his children's music as well as his stories in song being turned into children's books for which he has won several of NZ’s highest children's book awards.

His 4 albums have all been successful (one of them attaining gold status) but the one Craig enjoys playing the most is ‘Not Just For Kids’, where you will find his most popular creation, The Wonky Donkey.

Other favourite stories in songbooks include Willbee the Bumblebee, Kaha the Kea, My Daddy Ate An Apple, Square Eyes, Eating and Scariest Thing In The Garden. Craig has sold more than a million copies of his books worldwide.
