In this episode, we get to know three kids' book creators we've long admired. In fact, we can't BELIEVE it's taken us so long to have them on One More Page!

First up, Liz chats to author Yvette Poshoglian about her junior fiction series Ella and Olivia and Puppy Diary, plus middle grade historical novel Escape from Cockatoo Island. Hear her thoughts on writing first chapter books, and the serendipitous kayak landing that led to her exploration of Cockatoo Island!

Next, Kate meets the amazing illustrator Liz Anelli. Hear all about her start in the world of illustrating kids' books, a behind the scenes look at her processes, her upcoming books, a very exciting illustration exhibition in Newcastle, and much more.

Nat then chats with multi-talented author Felice Arena. From his acting experience to his start in kids' book writing, to more about his books like the Specky Magee series and historical middle grade novels, plus insights into successful school visits, it's a super fascinating interview. 

We also review a bunch of new release kids' books, share exciting news about team OMP's upcoming story in CBCA's anthology, announce a bumper book prize thanks to Walker Books and more.
