The Years' Best Picture Book Is A Grandfather's Gift To His Granddaughter

Gwyn Perkins began his artistic career when he won a newspaper drawing prize of one guinea and a box of paints (mistakenly awarded to Miss Gwyn Perkins). His first picture book as author and illustrator A Walk in the Bush, just took out the top prize for Picture Book of the Year from the Children's Book Council of Australia. He chats about the inspiration of the landscape around him, and why he wrote this particular story for his granddaughter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
