22.01.2022 For today's NAIDOC Week story, we present Jandamarra. A picture book for older readers. The epic and tragic story of Jandamarra, Indigenous hero of the Kimberle...y. A story for all Australians, providing a unique insight into an extraordinary man and a powerful slice of history. Set in the Kimberley region in north-west Australia, this is the story of a young warrior born to lead. To the settlers, he was an outlaw to be hunted. To the Bunuba, he was a courageous defender of his country. #NAIDOC2020 #NAIDOCWeek #NAIDOC #StorytimeAnytime

19.01.2022 Anyone else ever hug a book that they love and adore? A kindergarten child recently pointed out to me that I do this in library lessons and when I thought about... it I realised he was indeed correct, I do have a tendency to embrace an adored book when I am promoting it to a classpossibly a librarian trait? . I do distinctly remember grabbing ‘Go Go and the Silver Shoes’ and hugging it when I first spied it in a box of new books for the library ever-excited for an Anna Walker and Jane Godwin collaboration. . I have now read ‘Go Go and the Silver Shoes’ well over thirty times and I still feel the need to hug it each and every time I finish it. It is a sublime example of picture book perfection and it’s endearing characters and gorgeous, quirky storyline bring the reader enormous joy one cannot help but fall in love with this book. . My full review of 'Go Go and the Silver Shoes' is here. http://ow.ly/5oLb50B3a0J . . . #childrensliterature #readingwithkids #bookinspo #bookblogger #bookgeek #childrensbooks #yourkidsnextread #bookish #aussiemum #bookstagram #book #reading #currentlyreading #bookworm #booklover #bookclub #bibliophile #raisingreaders #kidsbookstagram #kidsbooks #aussieteachers #teachersofig #kidlitpicks #aussieteachertribe #teachersdownunder #booksbooksbooks #bookworms #bedtimestory #childrensbooksdaily

Although w...e are currently unable to provide HIPPY Playgroups and home visits, our HIPPY tutors never give up on families. Hear from our South Coast team about how they are delivering the program during isolation. See more
