A factastic tour of Australia from A to Z with award-wining author and illustrator Frané Lessac.
What is the Fremantle Doctor? Where is Qui Qui? And why are some islands named after days of the week? You’ll uncover these exciting facts when you explore
the A to Z of Australia – from Bondi to Kakadu and all the way to Taronga Zoo. Discover why Australia is one
of the most amazing countries in the world!
From prolific and multi-award winning writer and illustrator Bob Graham comes an enchanting story
about the sun, and how it makes its journey from the far side of the world to the home of one small girl.
With perfect pacing, the multi award-winning, best-selling team of Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen dig down for a deadpan tale full of visual humour.
A celebrated duo reunites for a look at poems through history inspired by objects – earthly and celestial –
reflecting the time in which each poet lived.
The true story of a little dog who had adventure in his heart and the rattle of the rails in his soul.
Influential artist Carson Ellis makes her solo picture book debut with a beautifully imaginative tribute to the
many possibilities of home.
Home might be a house in the country, a flat in the city, or even a shoe. Home resides on the road or the sea, in
the realm of myth, or in the space where the artist created this book. This loving look at the places where people
live marks the picture book debut of Carson Ellis, famed illustrator of the Wildwood series and artist for the indie
folk-rock band The Decemberists.
This fantastic addition to the Nature Storybooks series is about one of Australia’s most puzzling and unique
animals – the platypus.
Discover the NATO phonetic alphabet – and find layers of connection in every letter – in an enchanting
alphabet book from celebrated artist Isabelle Arsenault, illustrator of Jane, the Fox, and Me.
Illuminated by exquisite photographs of eleven species of birds, a spare poem inspires readers to
open their wings and soar.
A funny and heart-warming fairy tale about our values by Vivian French, exquisitely illustrated by Angela Barrett.

A charming collection of four beautifully illustrated stories about the unlikely friendship between
Mango, a little girl, and Bambang, an Asian tapir.
Mango Allsorts is good at all sorts of things, not just karate and chess. Bambang is most definitely not-a- pig and is now lost in a very busy city. When the two
unexpectedly meet, a friendship begins, filled with adventures, and of course, plenty of banana pancakes. The Not-a-Pig is book one in a brilliant series from Polly
Faber and Clara Vulliamy.
Inconvenient monster alarms, a sparkly array of princess guests, and spot-on slapstick pacing
make for a party readers will celebrate.
Today is Princess Magnolia’s birthday party, and she wants everything to be perfect. But every time
Princess Magnolia is about to open her presents, the monster alarm rings. And every time she rushes back
– an inside-out dress here, a missing shoe there – it gets harder to keep the other princesses from being
suspicious. Don’t those monsters understand that now is not a good time for an attack?

Secret lives, scandalous turns, and some very funny surprises – these essays by leading kids’ lit bloggers take us behind the scenes of many
much-loved children’s books.
Told in lively and affectionate prose, this treasure trove of information for a student, librarian, parent,
or anyone wondering about the post-Harry Potter children’s book biz brings contemporary
illumination to the warm-and-fuzzy bunny world we think we know.
All the things you ever wanted to know about food and also some things you probably didn’t!
Dip in and taste this edible adventure by Alice Zaslavsky – former MasterChef contestant and
the host of TV quiz show Kitchen Whiz. Packed to the brim with funny food facts, clever cooking tips and kidfriendly recipes, this is a book for the fact- hungry, food-obsessed or those who like to mess
about in the kitchen.
For both Kate DiCamillo’s staunchest fans and those just discovering this beloved author, here
are five of her award-winning classics in one handsome boxed set.
Create an instant Kate DiCamillo collection with five of her New York Times bestselling novels-among
them a Newbery Honor Book, a National Book Award Finalist, a winner of the Newbery Medal, a Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Winner, and an
American Library Association Notable Children’s Book. Included in this boxed set are paperback

Master storyteller Gregory Maguire offers a dazzling novel for fantasy lovers of all ages.
Elena Rudina lives in the impoverished Russian countryside. Her father has been dead for years.
One of her brothers has been conscripted into the Tsar’s army, the other taken as a servant in
the house of the local landowner. Her mother is dying, slowly, in their tiny cabin. And there is no
food. But then a train arrives in the village, a train carrying untold wealth, a cornucopia of food, and
a noble family destined to visit the Tsar in Saint Petersburg-a family that includes Ekaterina, a girl
of Elena’s age. When the two girls’ lives collide, an escapade is set in motion.
“My name is Book and I’ll tell you the story of my life.” Non fiction like you’ve never read it before!
This extraordinary character begins by reminding us of his origins in oral story and clay tablets, then
ponders on papyrus, parchment and paper, and on being a scroll who finally gets a spine. We see
him lovingly illuminated by monks in medieval monasteries, then witness the massive changes
brought about by the invention of the printing press, and the coming of paperbacks and e-books in the
20th century. But Book’s not a straightforwardly chronological chap; he can’t help musing - and his musings, whether they’re on the evolution of
the alphabet, libraries, book-burning or blurbs, are delightful and thought-provoking.
Combining magical realism and fable, this lyrical tale is the story of a landscape and community
destroyed by Western greediness.
In our village we had two treasures: the River, which was our road and our god; and the Book, which
was our history, our oracle and our soul. Simbala is a Keeper of the Book, the latest in a long line of women who can read the Book to find answers to
the villagers’ questions. As developers begin to poison the river on which the villagers rely, the Book predicts change. But this does not come in the form
that they expect; it is the sympathetic Westerner who comes to the village who inflicts the greatest
damage of all.
From acclaimed spoken-word poet Shane Koyczan, the rallying cry against bullying that
became a viral video viewed over 12 million times.
I’m not the only kid who grew up this way surrounded by people who used to say that rhyme about sticks
and stones as if broken bones hurt more than the names we got called. Now a dazzling illustrated
book featuring the work of thirty artists from around the world, To This Day is a powerful expression of
the lasting effects of bullying, and the inner strength that allows people to move beyond it. With a heartfelt personal preface by Shane, this extraordinary poem
will resonate with anyone who has experienced bullying, whether as a victim, observer or participant.
An anthology of dark, powerful and moving short stories from master storyteller David Almond.
David Almond says of this unique collection, “Stories on the page are so beautifully neat. All that lovely
black print; those lovely straight lines and paragraphs and pages. But stories are living things, creatures
that move and grow in the imaginations of writer and reader. They must be solid and touchable, like the
land, and must have fluid half-known depths, like the sea. These stories take place in a real world - but in
fiction, real worlds merge with dreamed worlds. Real people walk with ghosts and figments. Earthly truth
goes hand-in-hand with watery lies.”

Master storyteller Gregory Maguire offers a dazzling novel for fantasy lovers of all ages.
Elena Rudina lives in the impoverished Russian countryside. Her father has been dead for years.
One of her brothers has been conscripted into the Tsar’s army, the other taken as a servant in
the house of the local landowner. Her mother is dying, slowly, in their tiny cabin. And there is no
food. But then a train arrives in the village, a train carrying untold wealth, a cornucopia of food, and
a noble family destined to visit the Tsar in Saint Petersburg-a family that includes Ekaterina, a girl
of Elena’s age. When the two girls’ lives collide, an escapade is set in motion.
“My name is Book and I’ll tell you the story of my life.” Non fiction like you’ve never read it before!
This extraordinary character begins by reminding us of his origins in oral story and clay tablets, then
ponders on papyrus, parchment and paper, and on being a scroll who finally gets a spine. We see
him lovingly illuminated by monks in medieval monasteries, then witness the massive changes
brought about by the invention of the printing press, and the coming of paperbacks and e-books in the
20th century. But Book’s not a straightforwardly chronological chap; he can’t help musing - and his musings, whether they’re on the evolution of
the alphabet, libraries, book-burning or blurbs, are delightful and thought-provoking.
Combining magical realism and fable, this lyrical tale is the story of a landscape and community
destroyed by Western greediness.
In our village we had two treasures: the River, which was our road and our god; and the Book, which
was our history, our oracle and our soul. Simbala is a Keeper of the Book, the latest in a long line of women who can read the Book to find answers to
the villagers’ questions. As developers begin to poison the river on which the villagers rely, the Book predicts change. But this does not come in the form
that they expect; it is the sympathetic Westerner who comes to the village who inflicts the greatest
damage of all.
From acclaimed spoken-word poet Shane Koyczan, the rallying cry against bullying that
became a viral video viewed over 12 million times.
I’m not the only kid who grew up this way surrounded by people who used to say that rhyme about sticks
and stones as if broken bones hurt more than the names we got called. Now a dazzling illustrated
book featuring the work of thirty artists from around the world, To This Day is a powerful expression of
the lasting effects of bullying, and the inner strength that allows people to move beyond it. With a heartfelt personal preface by Shane, this extraordinary poem
will resonate with anyone who has experienced bullying, whether as a victim, observer or participant.
An anthology of dark, powerful and moving short stories from master storyteller David Almond.
David Almond says of this unique collection, “Stories on the page are so beautifully neat. All that lovely
black print; those lovely straight lines and paragraphs and pages. But stories are living things, creatures
that move and grow in the imaginations of writer and reader. They must be solid and touchable, like the
land, and must have fluid half-known depths, like the sea. These stories take place in a real world - but in
fiction, real worlds merge with dreamed worlds. Real people walk with ghosts and figments. Earthly truth
goes hand-in-hand with watery lies.”
