Author Talk with Children's Author - Angela May George

Author Talk with Children's Author - Angela May George

Come join us for an exciting Author Talk with the talented children's author, Angela May George! Get ready to be inspired by her stories and writing journey at Whitlam Library Cabramatta.

Angela May George’s novels beautifully characterise the experiences of modern multicultural Australia. As Melina Marchetta’s Looking for Alibrandi gave voice to the richness and challenge of second generations – the children of migrants to Australia – so does George for a new generation. George tackles the trials of growing up in a world of selfies and social media, fakery and friendship, and does so with insight and humour in stories that embrace the vibrant modern Australian society, without being afraid to explore the pitfalls of culture clashes, clique culture, and the joys to be found within family life.

Angela is the author of CBCA shortlisted picture book, OUT. A heartwarming tale of a family seeking asylum. She has won the Family Therapist’s Association award for children’s books and has been shortlisted for the Speech Therapist’s Association awards for her novel How I Didn’t Straighten My Hair. Angela is featured in an anthology of Australian Children’s poetry. You can find Angela’s books translated into Italian and they’re are also available in North America and New Zealand.
