Books in Homes brought these fantastic kids from Outback Wilcannia to Sydney.
The kids had never seen the sea. Love this curious question:-
‘Who put all the salt in the water?’
As one of the author role models for Books in Homes, I get the fun of handing out books at the schools. The kids love them. Publishers Scholastic support Books in Homes and the kids select from the best books.
As a selection committee member representative together with representatives from indigenous, Catholic, State schools, Children’s Book Council, Scholastic Publishers we have a great time choosing books for the list. Some of the gems that kids can choose are:-
Nick Bland’s ‘The Very Hungry Bear’
Sally Morgan’s ‘The Last Dance’
Jackie French’s ‘Elephant Alert’
Great authors; great illustrators; great books; for great kids.
