Praise for This is My Book

Tim Harris is one of the best of the many good guys of Australian children’s literature . . . His first picture book, This is My Book, illustrated by Heidi McKinnon, shows a witty, clever metafictional battle for supremacy between the left and right hand pages in a book . . . This book is a standout and will lighten the days of all who read it.

Joy Lawn, Paperbark Words

What a cracking combination of creators!! Tim has such a flair for comic writing and Heidi’s illustrations, while appearing relatively simple, are always so full of character and expression. The vibrant contrast of colours between pages is inspired! I just LOVE this book and your kiddos will gobble it up as well . . . It’s a laugh-out-loud on every spread and the tricky ending will have them rolling in the aisles. Well done on this little ray of joy!

Sue Warren, Just So Stories

An utterly brilliant concept where the left and right pages of a book battle for supremacy . . . And what a clever picture book it is – a mind bending, laugh-out-loud funny, interactive, brilliant example of text and images working in perfect harmony. This book ticks all the right boxes . . . It’s interactive, so much fun and a complete delight.
