‘Remember East Timor’ – I wrote the story and Frane Lessac illustrated it for ‘PEACE STORY’ – part of the Peace Children’s Festival on NAMI Island SouthKorea – where 22 authors, 22 illustrators, 22 countries participated in a unique anthology for Peace supported by IBBY Korea, UNICEF, YMCA … and the foreign embassies in Korea.
The anthology will be a beautiful book of art and story that is part of this festival that draws more than 400,000 visitors.
Frane Lessac just flew over from Western Australia to Sydney. We had a great breakfast at The Hughenden talking about this amazing experience. We’re featured on the programme – Frane is doing a special workshop – ‘Your own picture book’ and I am doing one called ‘Stop bullying’ – on my book I AM JACK that is translated into Korean as well as English.
Tom Neal Tacker who’s a fantastic travel writer. Check out his travel magazine – www.nakedhungrytraveller.com – The Naked Hungry Traveller.
He joined us as he often stays at the Hughenden, so it was fun to catch up. He’s going to Korea next week and plans to go to Nami Island and hopefully write about it.
