A delightful late afternoon of poetry, film, live music and song, art, short inspiring talks, creativity and photography celebrating the setting, art and words of the "Magic Fish Dreaming" poetry book for children and families.

June and Helene share the beautifully crafted outcome and process of their crowd funding journey. Already receiving excellent previews from poets, editors and children's book community.

Helen Ramoutsaki, Poet and Educator, says: " 'Magic Fish Dreaming' ... should be out, open and working its magic in every kindergarten, primary classroom and home—it will certainly stay with me as I set off on my next poetic expedition.”

Felicity Plunkett, Poet and Educator describes it as, “Like the work of Michael Rosen and Shirley Hughes, images and words combine to evoke the textures and spirit of landscapes. Here, though, it is a vibrant Australian world readers discover, one alive with the colour and energy of nature and many cultures.”

Robyn Sheahan Bright, Justified Text and Publishing “These whimsical and lusciously evocative poems are subtly imbued with wisdom, and steeped in story. “

Copies of the book will be for sale (cash only sales). Some creative activities for budding young poets and their families.
