Happy #sundayshelfie day! It is my pleasure to welcome @seethadodd_author and @elizabeth.stewart.illo . This week we are celebrating Seetha and Elizabeth’s delightful picture book Ginger & Fred.

In the town of Furrington, dogs twirl with dogs, and cats whirl with cats. That’s the way it’s always been. In fact, it’s the law.

So what happens when dancefloor rebels Ginger the cat and Fred the Dalmatian turn up with a new style of dance?

Meet the illustrators of 'One Koala, One Hundred Trees', the winner of the 2026 Environment Award for Children's literature in the picture fiction category! 🐨🙌

On reading the book, judge Kristin Darell (@krisddarell) said “Absolutely gorgeous and relatable for all kids who care about animals and nature. It informs without judgement, but also reminds us that every person has the power to bring about change and the chance of a better future.”

32 years on, the Karajia and Environment Awards for Children's Literature are still celebrating books that grow a love of nature in young readers. We couldn't be happier to add this story to the list of winners.

📚 Get your copy of 'One Koala, One Hundred Trees' and other winning titles from our friends at @harryhartogbookseller, who are donating 10% of sales back to the Wilderness Society to support our work to protect nature.

👉 Check out and purchase all the winning books at eacl.org.au

A big cuddly congratulations to Leesa Allinson, and illustrators Heather Potter and Mark Jackson, whose book 'One Koala, One Hundred Trees' has won the 2026 Environment Award for Children's Literature in the picture fiction category! 🐨

In this inspiring story, a young girl and her family find an injured koala on their property, and she rallies her whole community to protect local koalas and their habitat.

Judge Linden Ashcroft (@lindenashcroft) said, “When I read this book to my children, they immediately wanted me to read it again. The book tells a relatable and engaging story with clear actions young people can take to protect animals and nature more generally."

For 32 years, the Wilderness Society has championed children's books that foster a love of nature through the Karajia and Environment Awards for Children's Literature, and we're thrilled to add this story to the list of winners.

Find all the winning books at eacl.org.au or via the link in our bio. There you can buy them via our partner Harry Hartog and 10% of sales go straight to the Wilderness Society to help protect nature.

Thursday was an enchantingly spectacular day.
It was a day to celebrate the finest books in children's literature (swipe to see shortlist pic 10) and their extremely talented creators as part of the @qldliteraryawards
🥳
Shortlisted authors Seetha Dodd for her middle grade book 'Myra in the Middle' and Zeno Sworder for his picture book 'Once I was a Giant' were in town for the event!!
🏅
After a lovely meet & catch up lunch at a scenic spot by the river, organised by the effervescent @jess.galatola with @bethanyloveridgeauthor @lbe.hackney @hayleehackenbergauthor (thanks for organising - loved chatting!)
... it was then time to show off Brisbane's best bookshops on the west-north side➡️ @quickbrownfoxbookshop @brightandearlybooks
@wherethewildthingsare_bookshop
... where I got a signed copy of Seetha's new rhyming picture book 'Ginger & Fred.'
🐱
It is actually so lovely to drive around with fellow creatives and get to know each other a little more. Loved the time spent with Seetha and Zeno!!
🚙
The Queensland literary award ceremony at the Brisbane Powerhouse was a buzz of excitement, where years of hard work, doubt, inspiration, disbelief, determination and perseverance paid off, award winners delivering humorous, fiery and passionate speeches.
❤️
And, I was so thrilled to meet Leesa Allinson, author of shortlisted children's book 'One Koala One Hundred Trees.' (swipe to pic 12).
🏆
Special congratulations to our Charlotte Barkla on winning a Queensland Writers Fellowship. @charlottebarklabooks (pic 9)
And once again huge congratulations to Seetha for shortlisting and Zeno for winning! It is an honour to know you all. Xxx
