Liz Anelli launches new picture book

September 1, 2018

Congrats to Liz Anelli on the upcoming launch of

Maddie's First Day

Written by Penny Matthews

Published by Walker Books, in hardback

For ages 4 - 8.

It's Maddie's first day of school and she has everything ready - her uniform, shoes, socks and hat. But there is one special thing she can't leave behind - her blanky! A perfect preparation for 'big' school.

Liz gathered research drawings at two different kindy classes - one in Newcastle, NSW and one in England. They have now become on-line 'Kindy-Partners'.

Details of the upcoming launch:
