Last month here in Australia IBBY participated in the Sharing Stories exhibition in Canberra hosted by the National Centre for Australian Children's Literature and Woden Library. It was brilliant.
You can now access the full annotation publication of our Australian IBBY Honour books from 1962 up to 2018. I do hope you might take time to read some of these annotations. This is a document that deserves wide circulation and should also be a useful resource for a school or other library.
Yes I did play a very small role in the writing but that is not why I am sharing this with you. There is a link from the IBBY Australia Web site to the pdf with annotations of all 48 amazing Australian children's books. If you dip into this you are sure to see some old and new favourites.
The first book featured is a childhood favourite of mine and I still own this copy.
