Libro International celebrates Anzac Day and Italy Liberation Day in Auckland


Libro International commemorated Anzac Day this evening together with the Italy Star Association (servicemen who fought in Italy and their families) and the Dante Alighieri Society. The event, hosted by Italy Star NZ president Gary Russell at Kinder House in Parnell, was well attended. For the first time the Italian community was present also to celebrate Italy Liberation Day which, like Anzac Day, falls on 25 April.

Among those present were Italian Campaign veterans Les Andrews and John Cawte, and Italian Honorary Consul Mario Magaraggia. Alessandra Zecchini spoke about the book To the Gateways of Florence: New Zealand Forces in Tuscany, 1944, and thanked the Italy Star for hosting the event .

Woolly Wally returns


Woolly Wally

Dawn McMillan
Illustrated by Ross Kinnaird



Popular book returns...
Woolly Wally is back!

Wally is a magnificent ram who is immensely proud of his fine fleece, and the effect it has on the ewes around him. But pride always comes before a fall – or in Wally’s case, before the shearing shed.

Dawn McMillan’s hilarious rhyming tale of the leader of a flock who’s in for a nasty shock is memorably illustrated by Ross Kinnaird in a package that will delight kids in the 5 to 8 age group.

Woolly Wally was published in 2006 but has been out of print for some years. From today it’s available again in full colour, and will soon be available as an ebook.

Author Dawn McMillan welcomes the return of Woolly Wally: “It’s great to have Wally back – we’ve all missed him!”

Dawn and Ross are the well-known children’s book team who created the international bestseller Why Do Dogs Sniff Bottoms?; they are collaborating on a new book, I Need a New Bum, to be published by Libro International in September.

Release Date:  18 April 2012  | ISBN: 978-1-877514-49-4   | RRP $19.99
32 pages colour
