AUSTRANIMALS - NEW EDITION OF MY 20 YEAR OLD AWARD WINNING FUN AUSTRALIAN ANIMAL BOOK


BROLLY BOOKS in Melbourne have just released a new edition of my favourite book AUSTRANIMALS.

Lady Cutler Award winner 2014

What an honour!


On November 18, 2014 I was presented with the Lady Cutler Award 2014 for services to Children's literature by the Children's Book Council of Australia, NSW Branch.

Thank you to CBCA for the great honour plus Ernie Tucker for nomination and Belinda Murrel for seconding.

What a grand exciting night we enjoyed at the Castlereagh Hotel. It was lovely to see my family, supporters and CBCA members on the night especially Maurie Saxby (who sadly died 3 weeks later).
