About this episode

The episode features an interview with Andrea Rowe, an award-winning children's author and library advocate.

On today's show , we chat to award-winning Australian children's author, speaker and passionate library advocate who was recently appointed as Victoria's first Public Libraries Ambassador. We have a good chin wag about her work, her travels championing Australia on the world's stage, and the importance of libraries for all of us. If you're a parent, teacher, librarian, writer, or simply passionate about children's literature, you'll love this inspiring conversation. Today's special guest understands better than anyone that Libraries Change Lives. Her books inspire children to embrace courage, kindness, resilience and a love of nature, so it's no wonder her philosophy on the creative life of authors and illustrators and the reading life of kids is exactly that. Embrace your naturally born creativity she says. And, she got loads of it to share with us today. So everybody please welcome, the fun loving, inspiring, wonderful and passionate author that is, Andrea Rowe!
