The Terrible Suitcase

Author: Emma Allen Illustrator: Freya Blackwood Scholastic Australia/ Omnibus

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first day of school and all the children have special backpacks, except one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she has a terrible suitcase. A story about how imagination can make magic out of anything. Beautiful illustrations by fantastically popular artist Freya Blackwood, winner of the 2010 Kate Greenaway Medal for Harry & Hopper.

Author/Illustrator: Lachie Hume Scholastic Australia/ Omnibus

A story about what happens when Banjo, a Hoofball Star, loses his will to play. Another funny, deceptively simple story from Lachie Hume - about self-esteem, the value of friendship and the importance of belonging. Beautiful watercolour illustrations. Rights Available: World excl ANZ.

Biscuits from Home

Peggy

Rachel is in the kitchen, warm and safe. Her father is in the trenches, cold and afraid. When Rachel makes him biscuits, she adds the love and hope that he needs. A touching story of a family torn apart by war but brought together through the powerful simplicity of homemade biscuits.

Peggy lives in a small house in a quiet street. One blustery day a big gust of wind sweeps down and scoops up leaves, twigs and . . . Peggy! The wind blows Peggy into the city, where she discovers strange new things, but how will she find her way back home?

Books Illustrated

The Australian Publishers Association's (APA) and Books Illustrated's initiatives at Bologna Children’s Book Fair aim to support publishers in the promotion and sale of rights to Australian children’s books and to facilitate contact between Australian publishers and international agents and promoters. In broader terms, they aim to promote Australian culture and literary culture internationally, and draw attention to and showcase the diversity and depth of Australian children’s books. Each year this exhibition curated by Books Illustrated tours to other book festivals and fairs. In 2012 the exhibition toured to the Booksori Festival in Paju Bookcity, and in Seoul to the National Youth and Children’s Library, and in 2013 to the Korea Foundation Cultural Gallery. In 2013 the exhibition will be exhibited at venues including the Capital Library Beijing, China, as part of the Beijing Writers Festival.
