The Bone Sparrow - Zana Fraillon
Subhi's imagination is as big as the ocean and wide as the sky, but his world is much smaller: he's spent his whole life in an immigration detention centre. THE BONE SPARROW is a powerful, heartbreaking, sometimes funny and ultimately uplifting hymn to freedom and love.
-
The 12th Dog - Charlotte Calder and Tom Jellet
Can a dog play cricket? You bet! A raucous celebration of backyard cricket - and the family dog.
-
A Soldier, A Dog and A Boy - Libby Hathorn and Phil Lesnie
A moving story, told completely in dialogue, about a young Australian soldier in the battle of the Somme. With stunning illustrations from Phil Lesnie, this is a deeply moving celebration of friendship in times of war.
-
The Patchwork Bike - Maxine Beneba Clarke and Van T Rudd
What's the best fun in the whole village? Riding the patchwork bike we made! A joyous picture book for children by award-winning author Maxine Beneba Clarke.
