Horray! Our May picture book chat is not far away! I am very excited to welcome Kylie Howarth as our special guest to chat ‘Australian animals’ in fiction picture books. Also to celebrate her beautiful new picture book ‘Bush Magic’.
‘This delightful story is about the power of imagination, appreciating the natural world and spending quality time with the ones you love.
Jarrah and Grandpa love spending time together exploring the bush around their home. But one miserable Sunday it’s too rainy to venture outside, so instead Jarrah and Grandpa float away on a dreamlike quest where they meet magical creatures, save their stranded bush friends from a flood and have their most exciting adventure together yet’ Walker Books
Here are the chat questions for the May #picbookbc chat!
Q1. What is your favourite fiction picture book featuring an Australian animal/s ?! Share a pic! #picbookbc

Q3. Do you think picture books with Australian Animals have worldwide appeal? And why? #picbookbc
