By Dannika Patterson and Megan Forward (Ford Street Publishing)

Cooper, Max, Layla and Charlie go on a bushwalk with their mum. Charlie, the youngest, is very curious about the scribbles he finds on the gum trees. Where have they come from?
Scribbly Gum Secrets is a great book which shows all the amazing things you can find when you’re out on a bushwalk. We really enjoyed the rhyming throughout the book. It also ha fantastic illustrations and a lovely ending. This book is suitable for 6-10 year olds and will be enjoyed by readers who love nature and rhyme. It’s a very nice, calming book for snuggling up in bed with.

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.
