Age range 6+ What makes a children's book character memorable?Is it their personality, the story they tell or the way they're depicted by theillustrator? Is it that they make us laugh or cry? Or is it that we canidentify with them? Often, even as adults, we can remember what our favouritechildren's book characters said or conjure an image of them in our mind's eye. From Snugglepot and Cuddlepie to the green sheep and Pig the Pug,Australian children's book characters have always delighted the young andyoung-at-heart. Get together with old friends and meet new ones in thislighthearted retrospective of much-loved characters from over a century of Australianillustrated books for children. Many will be delighted to reencounter Albert, the cranky cut-and-come-againmagic pudding, who has fought the puddin' thieves in multiple editions, as wellas across the stage in musical theatre, puppet shows, animated films and opera.Others will be thrilled to see lovable grass tree Grug, who was once describedby The New York Times as the 'Elmo ofDown Under', and who has bustled through over 30 picture books since he firstappeared in Grug in 1979. With such classic characters included alongside newer stars, parents andgrandparents can not only share their favourites, but can also get to know the newercharacters who enchant their children and grandchildren. Today's little oneslove to go searching for Mem Fox and Judy Horacek's green sheep, who won theCBCA Early Childhood Book of the Year Award in 2005. They grump along with NickBland's bear, who has been cranky, itchy, hungry and noisy, to name but a fewof his dispositions. And they giggle at greedy Pig, the pug, who is awfullymean to his flatmate Trevor, but who always gets his comeuppance in the end. All these characters and more showcase the breadth of Australianchildren's books over the last century and give readers of all ages the chanceto get to know their favourite characters a little better.

This is a book for all Australians. Since the Uluru Statement from the Heart was formed in 2017, Thomas Mayo has travelled around the country to promote its vision of a better future for Indigenous Australians. He’s visited communities big and small, often with the Uluru Statement canvas rolled up in a tube under his arm. Through the story of his own journey and interviews with 20 key people, Thomas taps into a deep sense of our shared humanity. The voices within these chapters make clear what the Uluru Statement is and why it is so important. And Thomas hopes you will be moved to join them, along with the growing movement of Australians who want to see substantive constitutional change. Thomas believes that we will only find the heart of our nation when the First peoples – the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders – are recognised with a representative Voice enshrined in the Australian Constitution. ‘Thomas’s compelling work is full of Australian Indigenous voices that should be heard. Read this book, listen to them, and take action.’ – Danny Glover, actor and humanitarian

Aimed at academic, professional and general readers, Bush, city, cyberspace provides a snapshot of the state of Australian children's and adolescent literature in the early twenty-first century, and an insight into its history. In doing so, it promotes a sense of where Australian literature for young people may be going and captures a literary and critical mood with which readers in Australia and beyond will identify. The title of the work is intended to capture the fact that the field has changed dramatically in the century and a half that 'Australian children's literature' has existed, from the bush myths and heroism that inform the past and the present, through the recognition that the vast majority of authors and readers live in cities, to the third wave of 'cyberliterature' that incorporates multimedia, hypertext, weblinks and e-books - none of which lessens the enduring enthusiasm of practitioners and readers for books. Bush, city, cyberspace is not meant to be an encyclopedic volume. Rather, well-known, recent and/or award-winning works have been emphasised, with the addition of others where these help to illuminate particular points. The book is similar in coverage and approach to Australian Children's Literature: An Exploration of Genre and Theme, written by the same three authors and published by the Centre for Information Studies in 1995. In the intervening period, much has changed in the field, notable examples including the blurring of the dividing line between 'quality' and 'popular' literature; the blending of genres; the rise of a truly indigenous literature; the demise, to a significant extent, of 'Outbackery' in fiction; the acceptance of multiculturalism as the norm; and the advent of the literature of cyberspace, with new methods, and the sheer speed, of communication between writer and reader. All these trends, and others, are reflected in this work.
