1. New Release: Modern Family: Wit and Wisdom from America’s Favourite Family

The writers of the Emmy-winning hit show Modern Family bring a hilarious new book to fans everywhere

MODERN FAMILY: Wit and Wisdom from America’s Favourite Family

By the writers of Modern Family

Touching on everything from motherhood and teenagers to siblings, school, and love, Modern Family:Wit and Wisdom from America’s Favourite Family is a collection of humour and wisdom, highlighting favourite moments, memories, and lessons that readers will learn from and laugh at in equal measures.

Each week, the families of Modern Family have something to learn. Sometimes it’s a lesson about parenting. Other times, it’s about surviving marriage — or getting along with the dreaded in-laws. But no matter what, the Dunphys and Pritchetts and Tucker-Pritchetts always find a fresh and incredibly funny way to teach us a little bit about life and love as well.

Each chapter in Modern Family includes an exclusive introduction by each family member — whether it’s Cameron telling you about the time he met Mitchell (‘His name was Mitchell, and the rest, as Pepper would say, is herstory’), or Claire discussing motherhood (‘Mothers have no excuse for not being better liars because they’re surrounded by the best lie instructors on Earth: their children’) — and some of the best quotes from the show, such as Gloria saying, ‘In my country there’s a saying that means “Love is just around the corner”. I come from a neighborhood with a lot of prostitutes.’ Or Phil’s wisdom on fatherhood: ‘I guess that’s the real circle of life. Your parents faked their way through it; you fake your way through it. And hopefully you don’t raise a serial killer.’

Modern Family will leave the show’s millions of fans laughing out loud at — and falling even more in love with — the funniest family on television.

3. MIRROR by Jeannie Baker



In her new book, "Mirror", Jeannie celebrates the differences that makes up the diversity of world cultures and the elements that unite us, the bonds of family and the mundanities of every day life.

Even the presentation, as two books united within one cover, highlights 'same and different', but highlights it in a way that draws us closer to both families, the traditional Moroccan family and the modern Australian family.

Turning pages of each book simultaneously, reveals parallel aspects of the daily lives of these very different families. We see them with the intimacy and immediacy of a fly on the wall. They are at work, at meals, settling for the night, shopping and sharing. The colours are luminous and the details absorptive. Words are superfluous!

I have always been a fan of Jeannie Baker's beautiful, evocative, detailed collages. This latest book is a treasure!
