Boori Monty Pryor - Author Interview
Read on for the My Book Corner interview with Australia's first Children's Laureate. Boori is sharing this prestigious role with Alison Lester until 2014. Interviewing Boori Monty Pryor for My Book Corner was an honour and a real highlight of my 'work'.
Boori is a friendly, chatty and inspiring man who, on the day I spoke to him, had just completed three performances at schools - but still made time to speak to me.
His performances at schools, where he teaches children about his culture, have evolved over the years to become very interactive. Boori's aim is to immerse them in the culture, to encourage them to be a part of it rather than just observers.
Queenie - the launch
The official launch of 'Queenie: One Elephant's Story', the paperback edition, took place on Sunday 22nd January 2012. It was only fitting that the book returned to the home of its star ... to Melbourne Zoo, where Queenie lived to create memories for many, many visitors to the zoo for almost 40 years.
