New book for Dimity Powell

Congratulations to Dimity Powell on the upcoming publication of

This is My Dad

a picture book for 4-8 year olds illustrated by Nicky Johnston and published by EK Books.

Leo’s normal love of show and tell turns to dread when he is asked to talk about his father, who he has never known. Leo’s solution is ingenious and heart-warming, proving that families come in many shapes and sizes.

THIS IS MY DAD is inspired by teacher-librarians who noticed the lack of stories reflecting children who have never known a ‘father figure’. The story explores this family dynamic experienced by millions of children, in a positive and creative way.

Book Launch: Saturday 9 April 2022 at the Avid Reader bookshop, West End, Brisbane, QLD. Hosted and launched by Megan Daley. Visit the Avid Reader Events page or their Facebook Page for details.
