Wide Big World by Maxine Beneba-Clarke
Thu 11 October 2018
Wide Big World is a picture book that shows how recognising and embracing what is unique around us can be something wonderful….but it’s up to each of us.
Award-winning author, poet, illustrator and mum, Maxine Beneba-Clarke, has written a powerful children’s book, beautifully illustrated by Isobel Knowles, an award-winning artist and animator who hand painted and collaged each page.
Listen to our interview with Maxine here on Kinderling Conversation with Shevonne Hunt.
