It's a nervy thing when you launch into a new arena (illustration), especially after decades of neglect! So it's been with great relief that ekbooks/product/australia-illustrated/" target="_blank">Australia Illustrated is doing so well and that I may not have to put my paintbrush down just yet.

Below are some of the reviews that have been coming in so far. Thank you, everyone, for your kindness!

Announcing... This Is Banjo Paterson!

importantnutrientsspot/search?q=australian-story-illustrated-timeline" target="_blank">

Tomorrow, I'm officially in holiday mode, but before I go, I'm thrilled to share with you my newest books--both will be released in February 2017 (National Library Publishing).

This is Banjo Paterson is the follow-up book to importantnutrientsspot/search?q=australian-story-illustrated-timeline" target="_blank">This is Captain Cook, and once again features gorgeous illustrations by my dear friend christinabooth/" target="_blank">Christina Booth. I'm so excited about this book--an historical picture book for very young children. There'll be a launch here in Canberra on 12 February at the National Library, so keep an eye on my taniamccartneywebspot.au/p/events.html" target="_blank">events page for that.

Learn more about the book by clicking on its cover, and if you want to get in early, you can order a copy of the book right bookshopa.gov.au/book/this-is-banjo-paterson.do" target="_blank">here.

Also publishing 1 February is Australian Story: An Illustrated Timeline--a revised edition which includes 2016. This book has become a resource for primary school teachers, so it's wonderful to see the book republished, and with a shiny yellow cover, too.
