Molly the Pirate

Author: Loraine Teece

Illustrator: Paul Seedon

Publisher: Magabala Books

Three copies to give away

Young Molly’s imagination knows no bounds when she transforms her Australian backyard into an adventure playground on the high seas. Molly conjures up a pirate ship on her inland horizon and takes her loyal cat and dog along for the ride as she rows across the choppy ocean to the unsuspecting pirates. On board, she meets a feisty crew of salty buccaneers who look suspiciously like her own farmyard chickens. They are no match for Molly’s daring exploits as she walks the plank, dances jolly jigs, scrambles up the rigging (or is that a clothesline?) and steers the ship like a true seafaring adventurer.

I Remember

Author: Joanne Crawford

Illustrator: Kerry Anne Jordinson

Publisher: Magabala Books

Three copies to give away

I Remember is an exquisite tale of memory. Set in the Geraldton area of Western Australia, an elderly woman remembers the camping trips of her childhood. As her recollections fade in and out, she is drawn to think about the elusiveness of what she can remember from so long ago.

Joanne Crawford moves away from a chronological narrative and skilfully conveys the excitement and anticipation of many camps. Packing up the family car, driving along dirt sand plains, stopping to marvel at wildflowers in bloom, baking damper, fishing, and listening to eerie sounds in the bush at night become memories that last a lifetime.

Kerry Anne Jordinson’s illustrations have an ephemeral quality as she offers a glimpse into the beauty of the storyteller, old and young, and her family adventures through the vast West Australian landscape.
