Reblogging this because I think it is important and we need lots of voices to make change in this area. As many as possible working together to shine a light on Australian children's books and do what we can to give them the love and attention they need. https://ashleighmeikle.com.au/2023/10/21/rarity-of-reviews-of-australian-childrens-books/?page_id=16511

Any reviews for review… Continue reading October 2022 Round Up
