Honouring Christobel Mattingley AM  


​


In recognition of our departed Honorary Member Christobel Mattingley AM's contribution to Australian children's literature, the SA Branch has initiated a national campaign to raise $5000 so that her name can be listed as a Major Donor, in memoriam, for the CBCA Book of the Year Awards Foundation to contribute to funding prizes for the CBCA Book of the Year Awards.

We ask all South Australians to  consider contributing to this campaign.
Every little bit counts.
