This is an inspiring children’s series that celebrates Australia’s experts in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

Next month Wild Dingo Press will publish the seventh book in their Aussie STEM Stars series – John Long: Fossil Hunter by award-winning author Danielle Clode. Each book in the Aussie STEM Stars series is written by an award-winning children’s author and celebrates the real life stories of some of Australia’s top scientists and inventors, chosen on the basis of their pioneering work.

Written for children aged 10-13 years, themes explored in each book include childhood, school, family and formative experiences, what inspired them to pursue their chosen path, how they persevered in the face of challenges, and their contribution to science over the world. Since it’s launch in September 2020 books about our STEM pioneers Fiona Wood, Munjed al Muderls, Georgia Ward-Fear, Eddie Woo, Gisela Kaplan and Alan Finkel Johnston, Michelle Simmons and Creswell Eastman are planned for the first quarter of 2022.

In Memory of Rob Leonard, Our Founder

It is with great sadness that the Board of Directors, staff, and myself from the Children’s Charity Network must inform you of the passing of our founder, Mr Rob Leonard, following a 14-month battle with Cancer. We pass our condolences to Rob’s friends and family at this terrible time.

Rob was a wonderful, caring man with a passion for service and charity. His vision to influence young Australians through literacy 25 years ago has impacted thousands, who will all be saddened by this news. In honour of Rob, I look forward to growing his vision and continuing to advocate for the value of literacy and arts.

Please take a moment to reflect upon Rob’s impact on you, and remember his uncompromising belief in the power of Art and Writing.

Rob, you will be truly missed but never far away from our thoughts. 

May Rob’s memory be a blessing.
