Juvenilia

Everyone starts somewhere. For hundreds of years, children have been making books, comics and artworks and letting their imaginations run wild. Developed by local author and illustrator Aimee Chan, Juvenilia showcases the rare and very personal childhood works of well-known Australian children's authors and illustrators including Andy Griffiths, Graeme Base, Alison Lester, Ursula Dubosarsky and Danny Katz. Play Graeme Base’s game Worm Haven (developed when he was just nine years old), joke around in the Andy Griffiths Just Tricking Treehouse and dream big in this delightful exhibition. All the works in this collection have been exhibited by their makers because they want this generation of dreamers to know that they, too, started somewhere. They were children once and if they can do it, so can you.
