LEIGH HOBBS: AUSTRALIA'S CHILDREN'S LAUREATE 2016-17


'Old Tom is a big, resounding 'yes' for children who live in a world of 'nos'. In all these hilarious adventures, Hobbs is right on the beating heart of what it is to be a child.' Meg Sorensen, Sydney Morning Herald


'Few illustrators can capture with such precision the emotions and personality of a character, allowing the artwork to say much more than the brief, wry text.' Sonya Hartnett, Australian Book Review
