Australian Book Review A Secret Sky
" . . .elegant and intensely lyrical writing . . . an important new lyrical voice . . ."
Robert Hefner, Literary Editor, The Canberra Times Inventory of Fragile Knowledge
'a poetic sensibility that delights in the creatures and the objects of the natural world. The poetry is often a meditation on the act of writing itself, and is at all times imbued with wit, good humour and, above all, love.'
Brisbane Courier Mail Journey Through Grief
What immediately distinguishes this book is its unadorned honesty. It reads as a conversation of the heart and is both deeply moving and yet oddly helpful.'
Award-winning children's author "This really is an imaginative, fresh and strong bunch of books."
Anna Fienberg
commends new Ginninderra Press books for children"The Lost Rhinoceros is lovely - I (and my son!) really enjoyed the child being in control here, with the father entering magnificently into the child's world!"
Will You Help, Mummy? "reminded me of the story of Treehorn - told with similar understatement and ocean of feeling, rising up with each page."
"I really enjoyed Shimmer . . .the fantasy element was original and believable, and its emotional ingredients were powerful too . . .It will help children think about their lives, and how love is expressed, what is most important in their family."
"Rebecca's Wish and Samarkand's Road . . .will appeal hugely to children with a love for animals."
Restitution "is courageous publishing, because in this postmodern age of 'no values' where even grammar rules are seen to be too dogmatic, people seem scared to take any moral stand. I think older kids will respond passionately to this book."
"This whole collection of books is very supportive of the child, with the child's passion, and yearning to know right from wrong."
