Description

Discover the magic of storytelling with our new Children’s Creative Books on Bushfire Smoke and Health Protection!

In response to the devastating 2019/20 ‘Black Summer’, our dedicated researchers identified a gap in resources addressing bushfire smoke specifically. Collaborating with talented authors and illustrators, we’ve created two enchanting books that guide young readers through the challenges and solutions related to bushfire smoke.

Featured books:

Shirin and Amir and the Dragon Smoke, by Liz Drummond and Jemima Shafei-Ongu, illustrated by Magie Khameneh

Captain Nadia and the Can Do Crew, by Inda Ahmad Zahri and Andrea Baldwin, illustrated by Anil Tortop.

Bring your family and friends for a fun and educational event! Enjoy readings, interactive activities, and meet the authors and illustrators behind these inspiring stories.

The Centre integrates the study of Middle Eastern and Central Asian contemporary politics, history, culture, political economy, economics, and the role of Islam within the broader framework of the changing global order. The Centre fosters the study of the region’s most relevant languages of Arabic, Persian and Turkish. It also focuses on issues pertinent to Australia's interests in, and the development of its commercial, scientific and industrial ties with, its areas of coverage.

CAIS is a multi-disciplinary teaching and research Centre, with cognitive links with the ANU College of Asia & the Pacific, as well as professional association with its other Colleges. Its activities are guided by an Advisory Board and a group of international advisers, made up of prominent scholars in Arab, Islam, Middle Eastern and Central Asian studies.
