Editor's Notes
- Tristan Bancks: The Australian Children's Book Week theme for 2017 is 'Escape to Everywhere'. It sparks lots of ideas for me. It invites wonder about the world and the wide variety of humans who live here. The theme also captures why I read – to escape – to live inside someone else's mind for a while and to see and feel what they do. That's why they say reading makes you more compassionate and empathetic. And we need that now more than ever.
- The Patchwork Bike – Maxine Beneba Clarke – West Indian immigrant – writes and talks about racism, poet. The Hate Race. Van Thann Rudd – left wing activist, nephew of Kevin Rudd. The Patchwork Bike - What's the best fun in the whole village? Riding the patchwork bike we made! When you live in a village at the edge of the No-Go Desert, you need to make your own fun. That's when you and your brothers get inventive and build a bike from scratch, using everyday items. The illustrations by artist Van Thann Rudd of paint on cardboard are stark and simple, often quite abstract, but they effectively flesh out this world. The Patchwork Bike asks more questions than it answers, making it a great conversation starter to learn more about other cultures. Home in the Rain – Francie and her mum, who is expecting a baby girl, are driving home from Grandma's in the heavy rain and Francie is mulling over what to name her baby sister. Families – observation about ordinary people doing everyday things.
- One Photo – a poignant story about a family and the loss of the father. Dad comes home with a camera (not digital) and takes photos of many things, but not his wife and son. After his death the boy realises why. Out – a refugee story with a more positive outcome. A little girl and her mother have fled their homeland, making the long and treacherous journey by boat to seek asylum and have successfully settled into an apartment. But happiness alludes them as one person is missing.
- Mechanica – set in the 23rd century, this is an imaginative field guide to the fantasy world of Mechanica creatures, with amazing and beautiful steampunk-inspired illustrations. In this field guide from the future, a dashing explorer-Miss Liberty Crisp-details amazing creatures known as Mechanica: human-created life forms designed to replace extinct species. My Brother (quoting Lamont teacher notes) When a gentle creature sets out to search for a lost brother we are taken on an ethereal journey across land and sea to strange, beautiful and faraway places. To fantastic, floating cities, and medieval towns full of dark alleyways and winding staircases – to vast open grasslands and eerie, silent forests – and eventually to a place of timeless beauty and light. My Brother is a metaphorical picture storybook for older children that looks at loss and grief from a sibling’s perspective.
- Rockhopping The story of an eventful hike in Gariwerd (the Grampians), from the creator of the multi-award-winning Rivertime. Join Clancy and Uncle Egg on a rambling, rockhopping adventure in Gariwerd (the Grampians), to find the source of the Glenelg River. A story about following your flow, and the unexpected places you may go. Jimmy Cook Discovers Third Grade When Jimmy Cook discovers that Captain Cook met with a sticky end in Hawaii, he's determined to travel to the island to finish what his famous ancestor started. Big dreams come with a big price, but no price is too big for Captain Jimmy Cook, especially if it means beating the world's most annoying person, Alice Toolie..
- From the author of Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy comes the story of a friendship between two girls set in Victorian England, with magical machines, wizards, witches, a mysterious underworld, and a race against time. Marnie Clark of Curdie Vale can ride but she doesn’t have a horse. She dreams of owning one and having the whole world to ride it in. Before too long Marnie is gifted Mrs Margaret ‘Maggie’ Whitlam, a beautiful, big Clydesdale – bold, fearless and able to jump anything. From the very first ride, Marnie and Maggie get more adventure than they bargained for. Soon Marnie is learning to negotiate newfound friendships, pony club and how to stand up for what she believes in.
- Dragonfly Song - The little girl found under a bush has no name and cannot speak. Is she a miracle child who escaped the raiders, or is she a bad-luck child, the one who called the Bull King's ship to the island? No one sees the mama-stone around her neck, with the sign of the dragonfly. And only Luki, in training to leap the bulls, knows that she charmed the viper who would have killed him.
