![]() In Townsville last week, (May 25th 2017) at the Savannah Literary Festival, the first person to make a comment after my presentation thanked me in a most inspiring fashion for having recognising her existence in I’m Australian Too. I’m only now beginning to realise the effect I’m Australian Too is having on those who don’t usually find themselves in Australian children’s picture books, let alone as dominant characters. Look for the info about the book: it’s there, I promise. If you’re interested, you can hear me read it on this site. Loud applause for the illustrator, Ronojoy Ghosh, and a million thanks to Scholastic, the publisher. ![]() Talking of which , I’m happy to report that I’m Australian Too sold out in its first three months (March-May 2017) and has been reprinted. ![]() ![]() I particularly loved, and was grateful for the tweet from Stephen Morgan about his dad reading I’m Australian Too to his four-year-old, London-born, Australian grandson-in London. I do read tweets, I promise, even if I don’t tweet myself. ![]() Obviously I failed Tweeting 101 and will have to re-enrol in some course or other within the next millennium. Hello again, three months later (!) from the recalcitrant, blushing Mem Fox. ![]()
