The Book Week dinner was held on Friday, October 16th at Jarmer’s Restaurant. A great night was experienced by 75 people and we were delighted to have Vikki Wakefield, the 2020 CBCA Book of the Year winner as our special guest. Author Allayne Webster used her musical talents to entertain us all and we enjoyed celebrating the Curious Creatures, Wild Minds theme.
Thank you to Lauren Mullinder and Kate Jones for organising such a wonderful event.

On Wednesday, September 30th a filming session was held in the Ardtornish Primary School Library for SA children’s authors and illustrators. This was a quickly organised event to help compensate for the cancelled “Creative Connection” to have been held on November 13th. Not all the authors and illustrators could be present but 7 new publications were featured, “Indigo Owl” by Charlie Archbold, “A Boy and a Ball” by Phil Cummings, “Edie’s Experiments: How to be the Best”, by Charlotte Barkla, “Eloise and the Bucket of Stars” by Janeen Brian, “Meet Mia at the Jetty” by Janeen Brian and Danny Snell, “Esmeralda’s Nest” by Robert Moore and Mandy Foot and “Molly Moores has a House like yours” by Kaliah Tsakalidis and Ross Morgan. Lauren did a great job in filming and editing the movies and Janeen in organising the authors and illustrators. We now have the promo shots and most of the movies completed for a segment we have named “Book Bubbles”. Each author or illustrator donated a signed copy of their book to use as a Facebook promotion. CBCA SA Branch also has their own YouTube channel, where you see all the “Book Bubbles” book trailers. |
