On a Small Island

by Michael Sedunary illustrated by Bern Emmerichs Age 8+ 52 pages 978-0-980671-18-6 RRP: $29.95 Berbay Publishing The Unlikely Story of Bennelong and Phillip is the second book in a series of books from Berbay Publishing exploring first settlement history in Australia.

This extraordinary story about the friendship between Captain Arthur Phillip and the Aboriginal, Bennelong, is one of Australia’s most important and intriguing stories, yet remains largely unknown.

by Kyle Hughes-Odgers Age 5-9 32 pages 978-1-925161-16-8 RRP: $24.99 Fremantle Press

On a small island, in a gigantic sea, lives Ari. Ari longs for the large ships to stop at his island, he longs to see remarkable things and to have interesting friends. Then Ari has an idea. A dazzling idea. An irresistible idea … This remarkable work by internationally acclaimed street artist Kyle Hughes-Odgers is a celebration of ingenuity.

Rights Available: World.

The background of first settlement in Australia (when the first fleet arrived) heightens the polarity between the two worlds of these two people – traditional Aboriginal culture and values versus European culture and values.

The book has been beautifully written by Michael Sedunary and complemented with the extraordinary artwork by celebrated Australian ceramic artist, Bern Emmerichs.

Stella would rather dream up adventures inspired by her beloved Atlas than do her needlepoint or French lessons, but nothing ever happens at the Hotel Majestic … Until the day when a shadowy new resident uses the frightening Hand of Glory to put a sleeping spell on the entire hotel - a spell that works on everyone but Stella. Stella discovers Professor Sinistair was searching for a tiny package - a package Stella now has in her possession. But what’s so important about it? Why was the Professor willing to kill someone to get it? Stella embarks on a dangerous journey to keep the package safe. She finds allies in fellow orphan Ben, a boy with the ability to see into the past, and Mr Capelli, a theatre performer with a group of singing cats, but even together they are not strong enough to defeat the Professor’s dark magic ... Unless there’s more to Stella’s mysterious heritage than she realises?

Reading Australia is a hub for resources, written by teachers for teachers, to bring Aussie stories to life in the classroom.

Linked to the curriculum, the resources provide step-bystep activities and tasks, some with supporting multimedia materials.

The not-for-profit Copyright Agency produced Reading Australia in partnership with the major Australian English educator associations, to create a resource for teachers of such high quality it makes a compelling case to choose Australian texts, to share our nation’s stories and to back our authors.

What teachers say about Reading Australia: “Well written units of work and great choices of texts.”

“I have taught a book I might not otherwise have picked up - great resource!”

Text Marks the Spot is a day for students and teachers to celebrate children’s and young adult writing, illustration, song-writing and more.

Sponsored by La Trobe University, Text Marks the Spot kicks off the vibrant Bendigo Writers Festival and integrates children’s and young adult creators into the flavour and buzz of the weekend.

Following in the footsteps of Shaun Tan, Craig Smith and Chris ‘Crikey’ Kennett, 2015 sees a new Bruce Whatley exhibition.

dr what? THE CREATIVE INTENTIONS AND PRACTISES OF BRUCE WHATLEY. Bruce Whatley is the much-admired illustrator and author-illustrator of picture books such as The Ugliest Dog in the World and the classic Diary of a Wombat.

Curated by children’s literature experts Sarah Mayor Cox and Paul Morris, the exhibition provides a rare insight into the mind of this feted artist and showcases his brilliance.
