Podcast appearances and mentions of morris gleitzman

In this podcast episode of "Invitation to New Books," hosts Sharon Callen and Genevieve Kruyssen delve into a delightful array of new children's books, highlighting the enchanting narratives and rich cultural tapestries that make each one a must-read.The conversation begins with "The Wombat Who Fell in Love with the Sky" by Tylissa Elisara. Genevieve's admiration for the story is evident as she discusses the book's deep connection to Kangaroo Island. The narrative of Wurtu, the wombat, embarking on an epic journey across the Forest of Dreaming, resonated with Genevieve, who praised the book's charming language and vivid sense of place. The story, inspired by Elisara's desire to combat the effects of racism experienced by her son, invites readers into Wurtu's world, making them feel at home in the bushland.Next, Genevieve introduces "Ember and the Island of Lost Creatures" by Jason Pamment. This graphic novel, reminiscent of the popular "Lightfall" series, captures readers with its mystical energy and animated storytelling. The tale of Ember, a tiny person navigating a magical school full of unique creatures, is brought to life through Piment's dynamic illustrations and engaging narrative. Genevieve lauds the book's seamless panel transitions and the captivating adventure that begins from the very first page.Transitioning to a different yet equally enchanting tale, the hosts discuss "Millie Mak the Maker" by Alice Pung, illustrated by Sher Rill Ng. This book beautifully combines storytelling with crafting, offering patterns and instructions for the crafts Millie creates within the narrative. The story celebrates creativity, cultural diversity, and the bond between Millie and her two grandmas. Genevieve appreciates the book's accessible language and its potential to spark meaningful discussions among young readers about creativity and family.The episode also touches on "Tweet" by Morris Gleitzman, a story that alternates between the perspectives of a boy named Jay and his pet budgie, Clyde. Genevieve admires Gleitzman's ability to capture both characters' voices and the humor and heart embedded in their journey. The alternating chapters and short, punchy segments keep readers engaged in this whimsical adventure.In the final segment, Genevieve highlights two notable books: "My Brother's Keeper," a poignant tale set during the Korean Civil War, and "The Wintrish Girl" by Melanie La'Brooy, an intricately plotted fantasy that bridges the gap between "Keeper of the Lost Cities" and "Nevermore." Genevieve praises "The Wintrish Girl" for its detailed world-building and the recognition it received from the inaugural Danz Awards, judged by children.Throughout the episode, Genevieve's passion for children's literature shines through as she shares insights into each book's unique charm and educational potential. This lively discussion offers listeners a treasure trove of recommendations for enriching young readers' lives with diverse and captivating stories.

What a thrill it was to chat with Robin Whitten, founder and editor of AudioFile Magazine. I rely on their reviews for all of the audiobooks I check out at my library (yes! You can check out audiobooks at your library). Today, Robin and I chatted about how a narrator can bring you deeper into a story or drag you further out of it, how a good narrator can redeem an average book (and vice versa) and why the movie version of The Golden Compass didn't work. If you have never read The Golden Compass, I highly recommend you take Robin's advice and experience it on audio. It's a full cast production and it is truly something special.

Our young people face many challenges in the decades ahead as they explore what is possible for our human enterprise. Central among the things that will help equip them for this journey are stories. Morris Gleitzman has been a bestselling Australian children’s author for more than thirty years and is the current Australian Children's Laureate. His books explore serious and sometimes confronting subjects in humorous and unexpected ways. His titles include Two Weeks With The Queen, Grace, Doubting Thomas, Bumface, Toad Rage, Give Peas A Chance, Extra Time, Loyal Creatures, Help Around The House, and the series Once, Then, Now, After, Soon and Maybe.
