Yesterday we visited The Children's Bookshop in Beecroft. Interesting to see the Anzac books being published for children here in Australia; some of them make it across the Tasman, but I hadn't heard of Meet the Anzacs by Claire Saxby, illustrated by Max Berry (part of a series about historical characters). I'd heard about I was only nineteen by John Schumann, illustrated by Craig Smith, but hadn't seen it before. It's a very powerful and moving book about the Vietnam War - even more powerful if you listen to the song online.
