Noah’s Garden, illustrated by Annabelle Josse was released on May 3rd
by Walker Books, Australia.
All of my Australian royalties will be donated to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, where the real Noah and Jessica once stayed for seven months.
The book celebrates the talents of all those who work in children’s hospitals.
A big hello also goes out to the tenders of the Peter Rabbit Garden at the RCH, Melbourne.
The May Gibbs Fellowship in October was one of those once in a life time opportunities to spend an entire month in Brisbane to concentrate on writing.I cannot thank the May Gibbs people enough for their hospitality and a massive thanks also to Denise and her team at the State Library.

During book week I visited several schools and other venues and got to talk about books with many children and young adults about writing in general.
A big thanks to them and their teachers.

In July 2009 the CBCA South Coast branch held a literary lunch in Wollongong and many local
authors and schools were invited. We listened to authors talk about their books, ate a yummy lunch and had a cartooning lesson from Dave Hackett.

The Reading Matters conference in Melbourne in May was FANTASTIC.
Not only did I get to speak, which was very nerve racking, but I also got to meet a host of brilliant writers, many of whom I've worshipped from afar.
Having 'taught' Mal Keep's novel Keeper to Year Nine several times it was a buzz getting to meet him and listen to him speak.
Thanks to all the great people who took the time out to speak to me and thanks to Mike, Lili www.liliwilkinson.com/ and the team at the State Library for your hospitality and professionalism. I had a ball!
