From the President
Welcome to CBCA Tasmanian Branch October newsletter. This month we will
hold our Annual General Meeting and election of office bearers and committee
members. If you enjoy reading our blogs and newsletters or attending our
activities, please consider joining the committee or, if that level of commitment
is impossible for you, why not volunteer to help with a specific activity?
In 2015, Australian Children’s Laureate Jackie French will be visiting the state.
Thank you to Roxanne Steenbergen who is helping co-ordinate Jackie’s visit to
southern Tasmania. More details will be available next year.
Information about nominations for the Nan Chauncy Award is available
elsewhere in the newsletter. Wouldn’t it be wonderful (and apt) if the Award
could be presented in Tasmania! CBCA Tas. is interested in pursuing this idea and welcomes
volunteers to enable it to happen.
And now to our newsletter – interesting and enjoyable reading thanks to Penny and her team.

Coming Events!
Book an Adventure: Bruny Island Children’s Literature Festival
15-18 January 2015 - Call for Festival Volunteers!
Next summer several famous Australian children’s book writers and
illustrators will be joining Bruny Island families and visitors at
Adventure Bay, Bruny Island to celebrate children’s books and their
creators.
In partnership with the Children’s Book Council of Australia
(Tasmanian Branch), Events Tasmania, Bruny Island Arts, the
Kingborough Council and many other organisations, the Festival will
offer a range of thrilling writing and illustration workshops for the
under 14s, an exhibition of kids’ book illustrations, a children’s book
fair and a Viking Community Event, based on Norman Jorgensen
and James Foley’s award picture book, The Last Viking.
We are seeking volunteers from CBCA and the wider community to help out with organising the
Festival and with storytelling and craftwork during the Festival. If you can help in any way, we would
love to hear from you. Please contact:
Jessie Mahjouri – [email protected] or telephone 0439 314 703
Anne Morgan - [email protected] or telephone (03) 62931347
From the CBCA Tas. Judge
To date I have read 136 books and am currently reading and evaluating Box F
containing 34 titles. At this stage of the judging process organisation has
commenced and travel arrangements made for the Judges’ Conference to be held
in Western Australia in April 2015.
Based on previous years’ entries I am probably not even half way through the
total number of books to be read well and truly by that time – so, back to reading I
go!!!

children’s literature, which genres/categories you have the most passion

Reading Time is looking for reviewers from all walks of life. You don’t have to have a degree in
children’s literature, or a background as a teacher or librarian. They’re looking for people who are

Lu Rees Archives
The Lu Rees Archives began in 1974 with the goal of collecting Australian
children’s books and creating ﬁles about their authors and illustrators. It now
holds a signiﬁcant record of the national development of Australian
children’s literature and aims to be Australia’s most comprehensive archive.
It is dedicated to sharing this national heritage.
Since 1980, the University of Canberra has housed, organised and
supported collection development. It insures the Archives’ resources and
those who work with it. The Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA)
ACT Branch initially owned the collection, fostered its development and
provided ﬁnancial support. From 1995 the national body of The CBCA funded part-time staff. In 2012
the Archives became an independent incorporated body to pursue wider support and greater funding.
The Archives hold 26,000 Australian children’s books with 3,200 in 53
languages. It has authors’ papers and manuscripts, illustrators’ artwork,
audiotapes and photographs and files of resources on 425 authors and
illustrators.
An external expert described the Archives as ‘unique’ and ‘significant’ and
it can rightly claim to be one of the nation’s pre-eminent and
comprehensive collections of Australian children’s literature. The Archives
belongs to the nation collectively and to all of us individually.
With the exception of part-time staffing by the National CBCA since 1995,
everything has been accomplished by volunteers. It is the aim of the Archives to
secure its future so that authors’ and illustrators’ creative endeavours are
preserved and accessible for future generations, because although the Archives is
asset rich, it has virtually no day-to-day running funds.
The Archives is actively reaching out and making connections with
individuals and organisations across Australia and around the world so
that its resources can be shared further afield. Fundraising special
events are underway and the Archives is also now present on Facebook
and Twitter.
If you would like to support the work of the Archives, check out the merchandise at:
www.canberra.edu.au/lurees/merchandise including: Showcasing Treasures, its book about the
Archives’ 40 years, and an exclusive set of Pixie O’Harris’ etched glassware from The Wind in the
Willows. Or, become a friend of the Archives by simply completing the form at the back of this issue!

Children’s Books… globally
G is for Ghana
Parents and grandparents in Ghana relied upon a rich stock of traditional Ghanaian folklore with
which to entertain and educate young people. Missionaries and colonialists introduced formal
education and literacy into Ghana but when creative writing began, writers concentrated on adult, not
children’s literature.
Writer J O deGraft Hanson said in 1993 that the delay in the development of written literature for
children in Ghana may have been due to the availability, at that time, of many cheap foreign books
which did not however reflect the Ghanaian environment. Writers for children turned to the oral
tradition of folktales, myths and legends as a primary resource for children's literature, and eventually,
used them to create imaginative stories. Traditional literature still plays a crucial role.
Notable writers for children in Ghana include Meshack
Asare, J O deGraft Hanson, Peggy Appiah, Abenaa Korama
and Akosua Gyamfuaa-Fofie. Meshack Asare is a writer and
illustrator. His Tawia Goes to Sea (1970) received a
UNESCO citation as the 'best picture book from Africa' and
Cat in Search of a Friend (1984) won the Austrian National
Book Award in 1985. J O deGraft Hanson is a versatile writer ‘preoccupied with
nurturing the cultural sensitivity of Ghanaian children by presenting them with
books reconstituting the myths and legends of the Akan of Ghana. His ability to
translate history, myth and legend into exciting and enjoyable stories for
children places him in the ranks of the best writers for children in Ghana.’ deGraft was the first
president of the Council of the Ghana Children’s Literature Foundation and his books include The
Little Rain Cloud, Antobam’s Dream: A Christmas Story for Children and Amanfi’s Gold.

H is for Hong Kong
Children’s literature is an industry in China, including in Hong Kong. It caters to children from the ages
of three to fifteen and comprises an established range of genres from songs to science fiction.
Contemporary children’s literature is made up of three strands: a living Confucian tradition, a modern
canon that is institutionalized in the education system, and new works, forms and formats.
Confucian children’s literature is almost a thousand years old and began with one of the world’s great
children’s books The Three Character Classic in 1242. Children also read from China’s rich popular
literature which emphasises Confucian values. The modern canon was based on Western models
and today includes works by Ye Shengtao (fairytales), Bin Xin (prose) and Wan Laiming (Monkey
Creates Havoc in Heaven). New work involves the return of established genres and translations
including Disney and the Harry Potter series.
The Hong Kong International Young Readers Festival is an English-speaking
festival targeted at children aged up to 14 years. It is run each year in conjunction
with the Hong Kong International Literary Festival and offers a school’s program as
well as guest children’s authors (this year’s Australian authors included Kate
Forsyth and Morris Gleitzman). Fifteen-year old Hong Kong born Anna Ginsburg’s
first novel, The Tiger in the Stone, was published in 2012. Reenita Malhotra Hora
is also a Hong Kong-based writer and broadcast journalist. Her debut YA novel is
Operation Mom – How to Get Your Mom a Life and a Man and her debut
children’s novel about the battle of good versus evil, is Goopeater.

From the Editor
UTAS PhD student Michelle Somerton has recently developed an app to help
children ‘crack the codes’ of literacy learning. Ms Somerton’s project focusses
on embedding research-based teaching and learning strategies into iPad
technology. She worked with Burnie-based business 41st Degree Software to
create the highly interactive digital text that supports the development of literacy
skills as students move from picture books to chapter books. In this digital age,
any project that encourages our young people to read, and improve their
reading skills should be encouraged, and congratulated.
And it happened here - in Tasmania!
