NEW Books in the Library

Zadie Ma and the dog who chased the moon by Gabrielle Wang

Meet Zadie Ma, a girl who writes magical stories that sometimes come true. Can Zadie bring to life her most important story of all... the one where she finds Jupiter, the dog of her dreams? From one of Australia's most esteemed and award-winning children's authors comes a heartwarming story set in postwar Melbourne about courage, friendship, the magic of stories and one girl's unwavering love for her dog. 

Wombat by Christopher Cheng, illustrated by Liz Duthie

Learn about the incredible wombat - a rarely discussed animal. Did you know wombats can live for years without drinking water? This book is filled with facts and illustrations to keep your eyes and mind engaged.

When You Trap a Tiger by Tae Keller

Lily has always loved listening to her grandmother’s Korean folktales, but she never expected them to become a reality! When her grandmother grows sick, a tiger appears to Lily, looking to make a bargain in exchange for her grandmother’s health. With elements of magic expertly woven into an engaging coming-of-age tale, it is no wonder this masterful piece of storytelling won the Newbery Medal.

Please remind your children to renew or return their school library books each week to avoid overdue notices being sent home - thank you!

The school encourages and greatly appreciates a NEW book or monetary donation for any damaged, lost or missing school library books.

Please contact me, the class teacher or the school Office if you have any questions or concerns regarding your children's library resources. 

Happy reading!
