Hello from the Library,

I Was Only Nineteen

By John Schumann and Illustrated By Craig Smith 

A powerful and moving picture book about the Vietnam War based on the unforgettable song.

Townsville lined the footpath as we marched down to the quay. This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean. And there's me in my slouch hat, with my SLR and greens. God help me, I was only nineteen.

John Schumann's unforgettable lyrics about the Vietnam War are etched in our memories and into our history books. Now they've been warmly brought to life by one of Australia's best-loved illustrators.

Anzac Day Parade 

By Glenda Kane & Lisa Allen 

In this poignant story, a young boy’s innocent question prompts an elderly war veteran to relive the past on Anzac Day. The young boy is wide-eyed and wanting to hear stories of the glories of war and death; the old man, a former member of the 18th Battalion, is sad to remember the reality of what was faced.

Happy reading.

Mrs Earl and Toni Cramp
