‘You are what you imagine, you imagine what you read, and good books open worlds. All of us who support the Indigenous Literacy Project know this intuitively, but we also know that such inspiration can’t exist without an opportunity, and that’s something we can all help to provide.’ Shaun Tan.
Join Shaun Tan, the award-winning writer and illustrator of The Lost Thing, The Red Tree, The Arrival and Tales from Outer Suburbia, as he talks about creating picture books and demonstrates the creative process in action as he completes one of his highly-sought-after illustrations.
