I would love to recommend my brand new picture book for children - Australian Story: an illustrated timeline, published by the National Library of Australia. I think it rewrites the way kids can appreciate our nation's phenomenal history. http://taniamccartney.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/blog-tour-australian-story.html
ReplyDeleteThe Night We Made the Flag (A Eureka Story) by Carole Wilkinson,This is a great read for primary students who are studying GOLD and EUREKA. Although there are no actual records of who sewed the Eureka flag, it is commonly thought that 3 women made it one night. This book gives students a more clearer insight into what happened at Eureka.
