25.01.2022 Book Post 2 for Reconciliation Week: We have a collection for you today. We just love Dion Beasley and everything he does. Check out this collection, great for kids and teens with a Kriol edition available at ABT. He’s a little about the Authors and Illustrator. Dion Beasley lives in Tennant Creek and is well known across the Territory as the artist behind the much loved T-shirt brand, Cheeky Dogs. Dion's formal art career started in 2006 when the first Cheeky Dogs T-shirt ...line was launched. Since then, his reputation as an accomplished visual artist has grown from strength to strength. Dion's talents are particularly remarkable given he has muscular dystrophy and is profoundly deaf. Johanna lives in Darwin with her partner, daughter and a backyard full of green tree frogs. Her writing career got off to a bumpy start when she was so busy composing a story in her head that she accidentally drove into the back of a taxi. It was while driving on a bumpy stretch of road outside Alice Springs that the beginnings of the Cheeky Dog books took shape. Working with Dion has changed the way Johanna sees the world and tells stories. Shop from 9-2 today. #cheekydog #cheeckydogs #kriol #aboriginalbushtraders #saturdayretailtherapy #darwinsaturdays #bookwormkids
