21.01.2022 "Wilam is a truly beautiful story in both its words and pictures. Even more than a story, it is somewhat of a puzzle of the linguistic variety, rewarding reread...ing, and challenging the adventurous reader to learn twenty-odd words of the Woiwurrung language. Two of them are used in the book’s title and subtitle, which translate as 'Home: A Yarra River Story." Head to the Reading Time website for the full review by Marita Thompson: http://readingtime.com.au/wilam-a-birrarung-story/ 'Wilam: A Birrarung Story' written by Aunty Joy Murphy and Andrew Kelly and illustrated by Lisa Kennedy was Shortlisted for the 2020 CBCA Eve Pownall Award. #NAIDOC2020 Walker Books Australia

01.01.2022 'Go Home, Cheeky Animals' written by Johanna Bell, illustrated by Dion Beasley and published by Allen & Unwin Books won 2017 CBCA Book of the Year: Early Childh...ood. "‘At Canteen Creek, where we live’, there are many cheeky dogs. No one does anything about the dogs because they are supposed to keep the wild goats, donkeys, horses, buffaloes and camels away. Of course they don’t. And this provides Dion Beasley and Johanna Bell with opportunities to make madly inspired funny colour pencil drawings of these pestiferous creatures invading Canteen Creek in droves between wet seasons."
