Author workshop: Tania McCartney

Tania’s most recent picture book, Dorrie, takes you on a journey through the extraordinary life of Blinky Bill creator Dorothy Wall and is filled with lush plants and flowers and, of course — koalas! Enjoy a book reading and a behind-the-scenes peek at Tania’s illustration process, comparing her own illustration style to those of Dorothy’s.

Be amazed at how illustration has changed for modern readers and learn how to create your own illustrations, guided by Tania and her little Blinky Bill toy from the 1970s! We will also have original collection materials on display.
