Picture books are not just for children! They are one of my favourite kinds of books to browse and enjoy. Each time I come across a new picture book, I rediscover their joy - revisit concepts and topics approached in fresh and unexpected ways - reminding me of the song from Peter Pan: "I won't grow up . . . not me!" I'd lilke to believe it's the job of children's writers to find the fairy dust

It is not based on the assumption that you’ve lost your voice and are in need of finding it via some miraculous cure (be it gargling with vegemite if you’re an Australian or eating more kiwi fruit if you’re a New Zealander!).
