Five of my illustrations for Molly's Memory Jar have been picked by the ASA to go Bologna. Australia has been named as the focus country at Bologna Children’s Book Fair in 2012.

Very few Australian illustrators have been exhibited at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in Italy – the world’s most prestigious international illustrators’ exhibition. Last year only two Australians entered their work and one was selected.

In the lead up to 2012, the Australian Society of Authors is supporting a strong Australian presence at The Bologna Illustrators Exhibition, 2011 with up to 20 illustrators’ entries to be freighted to Italy.

i'm very excited. Any possible excuse to go to Italy!
