Delight in the unlimited inspiration of nature as Jackie French shares what it is about the natural world that continues to ignite her imagination book after book.
Jackie has joined forces once again with illustrator Sue deGennaro (The Tomorrow Book, The Hairy-Nosed Wombats Find a New Home) to explore the fascinating behaviour of echidnas in her new book Millie Loves Ants (Harper Collins), released in April.
Don’t miss Jackie French, honorary wombat, in this special session.
