‘Romancing the Stars’ a great success!
Congratulations, to everyone involved in the recent Book Links (Qld) event, ROMANCING THE STARS.
It was a fabulous success, bringing together 31 of Queensland’s children’s authors and illustrators with their supporters … hard-working teacher-librarians, teachers and many from the community who love children’s books.
Queensland authors and illustrators
Author, Josie Montano’s brilliant MC skills (and her hilarious one-liners) carried the night, and our guest speaker, well-known and much-loved author, Nick Earls launched THE NATIONAL YEAR OF READING with aplomb.
Teacher-Librarians and Book Links members
Highlight of the night was SPEED-DATING THE AUTHORS AND ILLUSTRATORS, giving everyone a chance to discover more about their favourite creators and their books, and learning more about those not so well known.
- With authors and illustrators, Gregory Rogers, Josie Montano, Narelle Oliver
The Sunde Sisters
Entertainment came from the talented and unique, SUNDE SISTERS (all the way from Croatia) – Angela and Nadia. Their hilarious and clever play on the song, Never on Sunday and their interaction with the audience proved they should add stand-up comedy to their usual repertoire of writing for children, singing and song-writing.
- With authors, Sheryl Gwyther, Prue Mason and Kierin Meehan .
The event’s success ensures it will be an annual celebration of Queensland’s children’s writers and illustrators.
