What is juvenilia?
Juvenilia is work produced by an author or artist while they were a child.
This exhibition showcases the juvenilia of Australian children’s authors and illustrators and their early attempts at storytelling.
Everyone starts somewhere. Whether it is handwriting stories on scrap paper or drawing pictures in pencil and then rubbing them out, today’s most prominent creators of children’s books all started as children too, dreaming about being able to publish their own story.
The works in this collection have kindly been lent for display by their makers who all want this generation of dreamers to know that we, too, started where you are. We were kids once and if we could do it, so can you. Curated by Aimee Chan
