Aussie kids at Auburn North was like the United Nations.
Kids whose families come from Turkey, Iraq, Afghanistan, Thailand, China, sixth generation Aussie background and more … welcomed Aussie authors.
Their Principal Mr Harris celebrated books as a way to fulfil kids’ dreams of reaching their dreams.
Their Librarian, teachers, CBC President Carole Keeble welcomed authors, kids and parents.
The MC, talented author Deborah Abela, who co-ordinated this CBCA Book Week event, had the packed library in love with her book ‘ The Remarkable Secret of Aurelie Bonhoffen.’
Oliver had them laughing; Jeni had them laughing even more; Chris has them engrossed in his amazing zoo stories and I was deeply touched that my JACK was on the feature StoryBridge painting that covered the main wall.
Thankyou to bookseller Kay from Shearer’s Bookshop, to the wonderful librarian Catherine Clift, Leanne Hodges and President CBCA Carole Keeble and especially Deborah Abela.
Thankyou to the kids of Auburn North for loving JACK.
