Azaria: A True History,
Shortlisted in 2021 BookLinks Prize
for Historical Children's Literature
Judge's Critique
A remarkably crafted retelling of the loss of baby Azaria Chamberlain and what can happen in the minds and hearts of Australians when fiction becomes more important than fact..
"This picture book is the epitome of a top-quality informational resource with superb illustrations. It should be essential reading for students of history and law, both young and old. It is an excellent cross-curricular resource and has extensive teaching notes online. Recommended"

Azaria: A True History,
Shortlisted in 2021 CBCA
for Eve Pownall Award
Judge's Critique
This book is beautifully designed and eloquently written. It keeps readers transfixed by provoking them to re-evaluate the historical Chamberlain case, as well as question expectations of justice, truth and scientific evidence. The main character, Lindy Chamberlain, is developed through multiple perspectives; as a police suspect, a character in the media and, eventually, as a human. Carefully selected words and phrases create impact in making sure mistakes of the past are recognised but not repeated and that a heavy topic is made accessible. The sophistication of the illustrations and design are striking and match the tone of the text with the colour palette reflecting the Uluru setting.
