Maria Gill's new junior non-fiction book

March 18, 2018

Congrats to Maria Gill on the publication of

Anzac Animals

Illustrated by Marco Ivancic

Published by Scholastic in hardback

For ages 8 - 12.

Read the fascinating true tales of the 20 unforgettable mascots and working animals who served in WWl and WWll. You'll meet these well-known and much-loved creatures, such as Murphy the donkey, the animals that came home, and those that sacrificed their lives.

Obviously wonderful and poignant in equal measure - congrats again Maria!
