Stories that shape us: the power of contemporary Australian children’s literature

Join an engaging conversation on the influence and evolution of Australian children’s books today. Panel Chair Danielle Binks (literary agent, creator) will lead a dynamic discussion with Dr Alice Boer-Endacott (academic, University of Melbourne), Jess McGeachin (creator), Lisa Berryman (Children's publisher, HarperCollins Australia), and Erin Wamala (Bookseller, The Kids Bookshop Melbourne). Together, they’ll explore how contemporary stories reflect our culture, inspire young readers, and shape the future of Australian literature.

Unfortuntately Miriam Rosenbloom (Scribble) won't be able to make the panel. We're pleased to welcome Lisa Berryman.
