It’s delightful to see the beautiful new Adam Goodes picture book celebrating First Nations’ culture taking out the top spot this week in our charts. This is a charming picture book about the welcome to country ceremony for ages 2 and up.

The first book in the Heartstopper series has made a welcome return to the charts, reflecting the massive interest in the brand new TV series that began streaming on Netflix last Friday night. Author Alice Oseman is an executive producer on the show and has had plenty of input, so the series truly does reflect the sweetness and charm of her graphic novels.

One of us is Lying continues to perform well, reflecting ongoing interest in this popular teen crime thriller, which also now comes with its own TV show. This is a page-turning mystery that will keep you reading late into the night.

It’s lovely to see our Kid’s Book of the Month making it onto the charts this week. This story about a young boy finding his way at home and at school is from multi-talented First Nation’s author, artist and actor, Meyne Wyatt.
