Did you know that bats make up one fifth of all mammals on Earth? Or that in Australia all of our bats are native species? And that they are critical pollinators?
There is so much to explore and discover in this enchanting new picture book about six Australian fruit bats. Author David Gullan and illustrator Samantha Metcalf have successfully collaborated to present a fascinating factual narrative where the young reader is invited to learn new and interesting features while enjoying the colourful, finely detailed artwork. The book is filled with facts to explore and discover and will undoubtedly be a favourite with children and adults. The lyrical rhyming prose flows smoothly, encouraging readers to look closely at the imagery and perhaps providing an opportunity for new learning and discussions.
Swooping and soaring, flying into the night, some stick together, others glide out of sight. This one goes looking for a Moreton Bay fig, a sweet purple fruit at the end of a twig.
Each of the six bats introduced, the Grey-headed flying fox, Eastern tube-nosed bat, Black flying fox, Spectacled flying fox, Eastern (Common) blossom bat and Little red flying fox, are presented in beautifully rendered illustrations that use a softened, layered colour palette to highlight their unique distinctions. Whether swooping, gliding, feeding, or caring for their pups, each image is breathtaking, especially those set against dusk and night skies washed in pinks and purples, where the bats appear as striking silhouettes.
In the final pages are facts about fruit bats, more information about the bats in the story, a game to play and glossary. The Teacher Notes are a valuable resource to encourage and support further learning.

We burned so bright by TJ Klune
Tor Books, 2026. ISBN: 9781035009435. (Age:Senior Fiction, Adult) Very highly recommended.
We burned so Bright is primarily a love story set in the ultimate post-apocalyptic tight race to the end of everything. In less than a month the people, animals, plants and the whole earth will be gone, consumed by a black hole headed their way. They’ve known for maybe a year or more but denial has given way to urgency, chaos and worse. Two aging septuagenarians, Rodney and Don have only one last task unfulfilled in their unremarkable yet remarkable 40 year marriage.
While the roads are still open the two unlikeliest of anti-heroes begin their roadtrip in an old camper with an unidentified precious cargo to deliver several states away, grateful for the the only company they need - each other. TJ Klune hasn't developed any of the minor characters - not because his protagonists are almost always LGBTQI but because the two ordinary men are extraordinary humans, bearing witness with grace. Many people they meet represent the archetypes of humanity - some are sad or angry, others disturbed and violent about the unavoidable annihilation of earth. However the two companions already close to their natural end, ponder the meaning of their lives without the salve that legacy or rebirth are even possible.
Every encounter reminds the reader of how paradoxically beautiful and terrifying humans can be. But every obstacle Don and Rodney resolve together, challenges that would have stymied a younger couple, is a testament to the maturity, grace and sacrifice of enduring love and commitment. Gradually they recount to strangers around open fires, some of their joys and their sorrows stemming from social persecution, the Aids Epidemic and lastly a failure to reform their wayward son, Jeremy.
A young family of four are just trying to stay together to the end, a farm girl is so disturbed she possesses a proclivity to mercy killing neighbours and travellers, a bunch of hippies cope via free-spirited celebration, a young same-sex couple mourn their short-lived partnership and a lone woman with her dog prioritize Don and Rodney's opus to reach Jeremy's happy place - and our final glimpse of enlightenment
This important work is for senior fiction – a classic in the making as humanity's collective swan song, if only we have the smarts and integrity to prevent harm to ourselves, others and our planet or the dignity with grace to forgive and accept what is beyond our control.

Inspired by a real-life wildlife conservation story, Saeed’s author's note proves Hafsa does indeed take the lead in attempting to liberate a zoo elephant from squalor. But long before this young Pakastani protagonist visits the aforementioned zoo, Hafsa reveals the perseverance it takes to dare to dream beyond her cultural and familial expectations. She succeeds in riding her own bike as only boys are allowed to do and winning a place at a Summer Science Camp for aspiring medical students. Subsequent obstacles include overcoming her parents’ objection and raising the Camp fee – all while her father is determined she helps out at the family vegetable market until she is old enough to make a good marriage like her older sister, Shabnam.
When Hafsa is offered a place at the prestigious summer school, her father reasons she is not safe in a dormitory and the cost is beyond their means. But her brother-in-law wants to help her and make Shabnam happy. He insists his sister-in-law stays in their house located near the Bukhari Summer Science Camp and pays her fee. The two sisters are delighted to spend time together but Hafsa becomes worried that her sister has given up on her own dreams of culinary school.
Hafsa struggles with bullying at the camp and spends most of her free time studying a dual course. We see, even when she makes a mistake in enrolling in the wrong program - an environmental program - she makes the most of it and the world conspires to help her get back on track. The type of person who knows her mind from a young age and fights for her future, Hafsa’s dreams are not small but her charm is in expressing honestly what is unfair and inhumane without fear of breaking the rules.
Are Halfsa's character strengths contagious and can she infect her new friends and family with the same optimism? As Hafsa faces challenges in every setting, rich or poor, educated and uneducated, boys and girls, rural and city, humble and bossy, readers will revel in the descriptions of Pakistani society and the very different cultural attitudes.
Author, Aisha Saeed writes books for all ages from picture books, middle school, young adult to adult. Read more about her irresistibly bold adventures genuinely appealing and hopeful on her website.
Hafsa’s determination is formidable and this book fit wells into Saeed’s middle school series featuring equally precocious main characters beginning with best seller Amal Unbound (2018) and Omar Rising (2022).
Madeleine Chapman’s 2020 biography of former New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Adern, provided insight into her compassionate and kind leadership style, along with details of her early life and career, but may have left readers longing for a more intimate revelation about the person herself. Now this new book for teenage readers, adapted by Ruby Samir from Adern’s memoir ‘A different kind of power’ (2025) presents the thoughts and feelings of Adern as she grew up in small town New Zealand and how she came to be a leader respected around the world.
I cannot imagine any other politician providing such an honest and self-deprecating account of the early anxieties she suffered, panicking in a toilet stall before going into a student debate, dry mouth and nausea, a severe case of ‘imposter syndrome’. But with the love and support of her family, and the encouragement of a sympathetic teacher, and her own inner drive, saw her persevere and rise to meet any challenge.
The book is set out with chapter headings each beginning with ‘What if you could . . .’, ‘What if you could find your purpose’, ‘What if you could face your fears’, ‘What if you could take the first step’ and so on. Each is an inspiring story recounting the problem and opening up possibilities. The book as a whole becomes such an empowering resource for young adult readers.
Adern describes the little incidents that opened up her mind, and got her thinking critically about better ways to do things. She embraced the quiet determination and hard work ethic of her parents, and thrived under the influence of special teacher ‘Mr Fountain’ who encouraged exploration of New Zealand history and Maori culture. Her ‘can do’ attitude and determination to do things better, opened up opportunities in the political sphere that she was drawn to. She became a new kind of leader focussed on kindness and caring for others.
Jacinda Adern is an inspiration for women to persevere in the predominantly male world of politics, and to draw on personal values, opening up a different, more compassionate, way to interact in that world. But even for readers for whom politics is not the main interest, Adern’s book provides recognition of the difficulties of teenage life, and is a positive guide to finding inner strengths and following individual passions. And in the end, her advice is ‘be kind to yourself. You are not weak, you are human’. And you are enough, just as you are’.

The farmer's pyjamas by Ruth Paul
Walker Books, 2026. ISBN: 9781760659912. (Age:3+)
The farmer has a long, tiring day. She milks the cows, counts the sheep, and sings the piglets to sleep. She gets the horses into the stable, follows the llamas into the shed, and finally has time to tend her garden. She pats the dog and leaves a saucer of milk out for the cat, brushes her teeth and climbs into her pyjamas for bed. But they are not there. She cannot sleep without her sheep pyjamas.
She is so tired the next day that she gets her chores back to front and the long suffering animals show their displeasure delightfully on their faces. She milks the sheep, counts the chickens, and forgets to pat the dog. She looks everywhere for her pyjamas and still cannot find them. Each day gets worse as she forgets to do the things she has always done. The animals confer with each other, and decide to search for the pyjamas.
They look in every place they can think of. They search high and low, eventually finding the pyjamas making a nice bed for the cat and her new kittens.
Now everyone can get to sleep after a day spent with all the chores being done, and the cat and her kittens sleeping still on the sheep pyjamas.
In rhyming lines, the story unfolds as the farmer goes through her day’s routines. Not only does this fun book give an idea of a farmer’s work load, it also displays a range of animals and has a mystery to solve. The ideas linking sheep with sleep will also be given some thought. Interest will be piqued amongst readers.
With charming illustrations of a farm and its occupants, readers will be delighted looking at the array before them, searching along with the animals, for those pyjamas.
Archie is full of beans; he jumps and runs, zip lines across the sky, fights dragons and has a head full of ideas that make his days full of adventure. He taps, shakes, moves, turns, drums and twitches. His classmates call for him to calm down, worried that they are often at the end of his activities, one getting struck in the head with a ball kicked by Archie, while others call for him to be quiet, and talk less. He interrupts, loses his things, and cannot sit still in the classroom. His parents encourage him to calm down, and meditate together. One day they take Archie and his friends to the go kart track. Here Archie is enthralled and wants to be involved. His friends tell him that he would not be able to sit still long enough.
But they are wrong, Archie doesn’t do anything they expected. He gets into the go kart, and follows the rules, keeping between the lines and roars around the track, finally getting to the finish line in record time.
His friends tell him that he is amazing, and cannot believe that he is able to sit still for so long. He agrees, and when he takes off his helmet, reverts to being twitchy and wriggly, just like before.
A funny, involving story about a boy with ADHD, unable to sit still, or behave the way others in the class behave. But he is creative, adventurous and noisy, and each of these talents are useful to have, especially when boarding a go kart. His friends are supportive and patient, making suggestions when he is unable to sit still, and going to the go kart track with him, they see a different side to their restive friend.
Written by Danni Bee and James Layton, both diagnosed with ADHD and illustrated by Davilyn Lynch, the story shows how a positive classroom includes children with diverse abilities and behaviours, reflecting the support given by friends and classmates.
Larrikin House publications include a page of their books on the back cover, picturing books to encourage more laughter and fun, and like this story about Archie, is supportive of children with diverse challenges.

Based on a true story by Sarah Vaughan
Simon & Schuster, 2026. ISBN: 9781398502093. (Age:17- Adult) Recommended.
With a Shakespearean foreshadowing, this story begins with a body, found during a party to honour Eleanor Kingman and her life of 70 years. Eleanor is a wealthy author of children’s books whose own life story is about to be revealed in a documentary, with interviews from family and colleagues, and others from her past. But Eleanor has carefully curated her past and her daughters are not always in awe of her. Will this party unravel Eleanor’s history and her careful telling of her own story? Is her future success as an author and her relationships with her daughters likely to crumble under scrutiny? Can Eleanor survive her own truth or will her foundation of lies crack? Is her power over her own life about to be stolen?
This is a story with a recognisable hint of King Lear, but it is also a psychological thriller. Even knowing that the plot will progress to reveal the identity of ‘the body’, there is still dramatic uncertainty and tension to the reveal. The sisters in the story have their own flaws (addictions have impacted and they all struggle with their mother and her success) and their tangled lives provide doubts about their innocence. The story is told through the voices and reflections of most of the main characters revealing their secrets and providing background motivations for their choices. There is also an overwhelming layer of fear communicated via text and email threats. None of the characters are squeaky clean, but because of this the uncertainty lies over the plot. The fact the main character is an author of children’s books adds an element of literary interest for those interested in publishing. This is a story for adult or older readers who like mystery thrillers, with a hint of Shakespearean flavour. Students who have a passing knowledge of King Lear may enjoy the comparisons. But the irony of this book is that this is a story that references the intrigue of plot theft, that almost does the same thing!

The creature's guide to caring by Elizabeth Preston
Scribe, 2026. ISBN: 9781761380792. (Age:Adult)
Science journalist Elizabeth Preston explores the biology, brain circuitry, and behaviours we share with species across the animal kingdom that care for young. In the field and in the lab, readers also meet scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding these animals, often while juggling families of their own. Alongside animal parents that range from lonely octopuses to seahorses, to various land-dwelling creatures including insects, mammals and amphibians, human comparisons are plentiful, with the author often finding a village or a father responsible for care, where this was thought to typically be the mother's role. This book helps readers to view caring in new ways, as Peston argues that Homo sapiens' history of caring for children, particularly cooperatively, has left a legacy in all of us - parents and non-parents alike, and is the basis for our caring human society.
This is a well researched non-fiction book, an in depth look at caring and biology from a different perspective, with the evidence that we are programmed to care - even if some humans opt not to reproduce (or are unable to), we are primarily programmed to care for others. Plenty of wit and relatable writing throughout, while also scientific, this is a very interesting read, good for those interested in care, biology, science, animals, children/childcare or looking for an involved yet dynamic read. There is a long list of references and notes at the end of the book, for those wanting to dive into the research.
Showing, reflecting, giving and receiving love is at the forefront of this story as Flett reveals the supportive relationships that exist between animals and between humans. It starts with a mother bear, watching her offspring clutching the end of a branch falling to the ground, followed by a mother duck and her ducklings, and over the page a tortoise and her baby. The conclusion over the page is that we love too, underscored in Cree-Metis language, encouraging readers to speak the language out loud, learning the basic words as they appear.
Understated illustrations by Flett are superb, reflecting monotones created with digital collage and watercolour producing sweeping images of the landscape and charming close up studies of the animals and children through the story. Each is fascinating, showing details that seem so real, made with broad brush strokes, but instantly identifiable. The image of the mother bear and her cub for example displays a wonderful talent for understatement, as the broad stroke of a brush gives an image of a tree and branch leaning down with a small bear hugging it, while mum climbs the trunk. Although it is one colour and uncomplicated in its design, the image is telling of the relationship between an animal and its offspring, and the environment in which they live. Much detail is given in what seems a simple drawing. Another page which grabbed my attention is the night sky. Hints of stars twinkle high up, watched by a mother and her two cubs.
And I was thrilled to see it replicated on the hard cover under the slip cover.
All sorts of things loved by the author appear in the illustrations; a family together around a fire, three children talking together, violets and other flowers, stars in the night sky, a mother protecting her young, animals being welcomed into a place of shelter. But the main thought is that we all love, no matter who or what we are. There is an interdependence amongst us all.
This is a lovely books to share with children, reminding them of the love that binds us all, and using Cree-Metis language to practise nad share. A note from the author at the end of the story gives insight into her motives for writing this book.
Allen & Unwin, 2025. ISBN: 9781761472244. (Age:16+) Highly recommended.
Originally published in 2005, The butterfly man was winner of the 2006 Davitt Award for Best Crime Novel. Now Allen and Unwin’s 2025 edition makes this intriguing novel readily available again. It is a reimagining of the story of Lord Lucan, the man notorious in 1974 for killing his children’s nanny, supposedly mistaking her for his intended victim, his wife.
Heather Rose imagines Lucan with a complete makeover, an assumed identity as Henry Kennedy, a Scottish builder living in Tasmania, and in a relationship with Lili, an Asian woman who in his previous life he would never have deigned to engage with. This is his second chance, dependent on the possibility of his overcoming a privileged upbringing and inherent prejudices against class and race. He undergoes a metamorphosis, becomes a new man, caring and considerate, and enjoying a close friendship with Jimmy, his Aboriginal neighbour. Is such a thing possible? Can one really just start again? And then, when illness takes hold, and his brain struggles, will he still retain this new personality, or will old memories and attitudes resurface?
The other question Rose explores is one about the kind of people who might be caught up in this fabricated life; are they completely gullible, or is there something about deception that might attract similarly deceptive people? Is Kennedy the only one with a dark history?
I was completely drawn into this intriguing mystery. I love the way Rose provides glimpses of hidden secrets and gradually reveals the complexity of relationships. And her portrayal of Lili’s surprise grandson, Charlie, is such a delight, the way his young mind applies simple logic to the questions that arise. There is so much warmth and forgiveness between the characters as they grow closer together; this is not a story that will be easily forgotten, it is one of great tenderness and love. In the end it is not just another crime novel, it is an intelligent examination of people, their personalities, addictions, and interactions. Highly recommended.
Spiders are not the most popular of creatures and often children are fearful of coming into contact with them. This fear comes about through children’s perceptions of how busily spiders move, how they can appear when you least expect them, how they are portrayed in books and film, and perhaps the most influential reason is how older children and adults model their reaction to them.
To test out my thinking I read I’m Not Afraid of Spiders, to a five year old whose mother and older siblings create great drama when ever a spider appears. They listened quietly and were engaged by the rhyming text and bold colourful illustrations. In fact, once the story was finished being read aloud, they picked it up and went through the pages independently with an older sibling pointing out their understanding, showing no fear of the content.
Each double page layout showcases a variety of distinct yet familiar environments and introduces one or more intricately detailed spiders, with their common name clearly labelled beside the illustration. With repetition of the title in each verse along with the clever inclusion of simple, accessible facts, young readers are able to acquire early scientific and practical information about spiders.
I’m not afraid of spiders, Though some have dangerous bites. We’re big and scary to them too, Look, don’t touch, you’ll be all right.
I’m not afraid of spiders, Though some have lots of hair. These hairs are how they see their world, Not for giving us a scare!
I’m Not Afraid of Spiders is a fabulous read for early years students and could be used as a hook for gathering key facts for an information report. The teacher notes are an excellent resource for extending classroom or preschool learning.
Way back before time began, the sun, Yirray, drank all the water.
Tjidalih, the green frog tells the animals that the sun has taken all the water through evaporation. He tells them that he has a deal for them. He can store the water that has been left, in his pouch.
Yamin the wombat is not so sure, and tells Tjidalih that he is not keen to drink water stored in the frog’s stomach. But Tjidalih keeps on drinking, taking up all the water in sight. He drains the billabong, despite being told not to. Mmm he says. He gets bigger and bigger. He hops over to the koala and her daughter, talking them into giving over their water. He then hops over to the emu and begins telling the same story, with the koalas and kangaroos and wombat racing over to warn emu. He drains the creek leaving fish and yabbies struggling to keep alive. He is told once again not to keep the water, but replies mmm again. Yaminon tells the group that he has noticed that Tjidalih never opens his mouth and they decide get him to laugh to open his mouth and hopefully release the water. But this proves quite difficult. All the animals try: they laugh and strut and dance and jump.
But when Barring the eel jumps in front of the frog, she turns and twists herself into a knot. The other animals come to help, all to no avail, but when a kookaburra tries to unknot the eel, her feathers fly out. They tickle the frog’s nose and without warning, he laughs, and laughs and laughs.All the water spurts out, and Tjidalih becomes smaller and smaller. Today this frog is still around and is known as the water-holding frog.
This wonderful Dreaming story tells of a time long ago and shows children how various elements of their environment came to be. More importunely the story espouses the value of sharing, of not being greedy, of being aware of your environment and all of its elements and their importance.
Dreise’s telling of this story will involve all the readers, as they follow the frog’s greed finally being brought to heel. The tale lends itself to some wonderful creative play, emulating the animals as they try hard to get the frog to laugh.
His illustrations reflect his environment, respecting the styles produced in Aboriginal art, the dots and circles, forming the background of each page. There are several water holding frog stories published in the past, and kids may have come across Tiddalik, encouraging them to spot the similarities and differences in each story, while finding the place where each is set.
This simple little picture book introduces the reader to a collection of sea creatures . . . starfish, crab, blowfish, seahorse, jellyfish, stingray, sea urchin, octopus, anemone, and clownfish. Until the final page, each contains minimal text with only five to seven words on most, the final page of writing including two brief sentences.
At first glance, it seemed to be too basic for any but the smallest of children, and it was the illustrations that initially held most appeal. After reading the title many, many times to a toddler, it became clear that, despite its simplicity, there is more to the title than first meets the eye.
With the teaching of phonics and spelling having undergone many changes since I left the classroom, and a return to a greater focus on grammar, I can see numerous uses for this book in junior primary classes. With so little text, I personally find this to be a more engaging title than some of the decodable readers which are presently in favour. Milroy has introduced the ‘beach buddies’ in one single sentence, concluding with the clownfish giving a ‘goofy grin’. The story ends with the sentences “So many creatures in the sea. Can you name them all with me?” I can imagine teachers writing the text on the board and asking students to identify nouns, verbs and adjectives, and creating their own sentences about the creatures or additional sea creatures they know. Sentence structure could also be discussed as the acronym COPS is widely used…capitalisation, organisation, punctuation, spelling.
Art lessons could also be focused on this book. The beautiful and detailed end papers use only shades of blue, depicting each of the characters deep in the sea. Subsequent pages in the body of the book are filled with vibrant colours and detailed patterns, in keeping with the author information in the back of the book. Milroy is a descendent of the Palyku people and I imagine the art style is a reflection of her background. Students could create their own collages with painted backgrounds, pastel or Texta colour patterns, water-coloured washes and so on.
This book has a lot to offer.

Don’t let them leave by Mike Lucas
Penguin Random House, 2026. ISBN: 9781761355462. (Age:12+) Recommended.
Don't Let Them Leave by Mike Lucas is an intriguing young adult thriller that will leave you wondering what the truth is throughout. Mystery, suspense, and psychological tension combine in a tale that delves into fear, trust, and survival in ways that are continually surprising to the reader. The novel moves at a lively pace, but it is also an enjoyable read, suggesting it may be worth people considering human behaviour when people find themselves under extreme pressure.
The book is about a group of young adults who find themselves in a frightening scenario where they cannot follow their precept of leaving. Friendships are put to the test as the tension rises, secrets start to come out, and every decision turns out to be a matter of life and death. Instead of depending exclusively on the action, Lucas slowly and cleverly wraps up the tension by letting it build up but without giving too much away. The storyline is so unpredictable that the reader cannot put the book down.
The characters are believable – one of the strong features of the novel. The personalities of each of these characters are unique and their “urban survival tactics” are realistic and not over-the-top. Several characters undergo surprisingly good development throughout the story, which makes them feel like real teens and not a stereotyped hero or heroine. Their evolving dynamics add a layer of emotional complexity and enhance the tension and drama of high-stakes moments.
Good themes are used throughout: trust, courage, and the psychological effects of fear. Mike Lucas raises questions such as loyalty, morality, and what people choose to do under dire circumstances. These themes provide additional insights beyond just the exciting plot and make readers think about what they might do in their own situation.
The book is professionally written; the style is clear, engaging and very accessible to young adult audiences. The narrative is paced and uses vivid imagery that enables the reader to visualise the scene and experience the escalating tension as the characters do. The chapters are short, and the pace is quick, creating a sense of urgency, and the writer uses rich descriptive language to let the reader imagine the scene and feel the tension in the story as the characters do. Dialogue sounds natural and shows characters’ personalities and changing dynamics in a group.
This novel is recommended for an audience 13+ and will appeal to readers of suspense, mystery, and psychological thrillers. Don't Let Them Leave is a novel page-turner with plenty of surprises for fans of quick-read books.
The third in the books about Rabbit and his family, deals with the big emotions that many children feel in early childhood. In this story, Rabbit goes to the beach with his parents. The parents are carrying bags with things they might need at the beach and Rabbit pulls a trolley of play things. He is very eager. He begins to kick the ball with Dad but when the game finishes, Rabbit wants to keep going; 'Again' he calls out.
'Let’s fly a kite' says Dad. And all is going well, but when the kite flies off, Rabbit calls out 'Again, again!'
While Dad has a little sleep, Mum helps Rabbit build a castle. And wanting to go on with this activity, Rabbit says, 'Again!' but Mum suggests they go for a swim. In the sea, Mum and Dad swing him through the waves, Rabbit wanting this 'Again!' This time when they say jump he becomes swamped with the waves, and this time, the response is 'No! Not again!' He is taken back to the beach to dry off and Rabbit rejects every suggestion about what to do next. Offered a snack, he takes it and when seagulls fly in to help the family shoos them away. Mum is happy once again, Dad has had his sleep, and Rabbit suggest that they it all 'Again!' tomorrow.
Lots of laughter will be had as children read this book, identifying with the things that happen when the family goes on holiday. The Rabbit’s demands are sidelined for another activity and when the parents do comply with his demand, he gets swamped by the water, and everyone is unhappy. A lovely story of patience on the part of the parents, all their attention focussed on Rabbit as he tries games they play together. Family is at the heart of this tale, reinforcing the focus of a family and activities done together, making sure the child is entertained.
Rabbit’s image on each page will engage readers as they see a little person trying out a lot of activities. Wonderfully humorous, they reflect an engaged and supportive fmaily with lots of wry looks on their faces as they try out how patient they can be.
