Synopsis We're All Australians Now by : A B Paterson

We're All Australians Now follows the tradition of other A & R children's classics such as Mulga Bill's Bicycle and Click Go the Shears with the poem "We're All Australians Now" by A. B. 'Banjo' Paterson illustrated by the award-winning Mark Wilson. In 1915, Australia's much-loved bush poet Banjo Paterson wrote, as an open letter to the troops, a poem he titles 'We're All Australians Now'. In this beautifully illustrated picture book, award-winning illustrator Mark Wilson evokes the spirit of Paterson's words in memory of those who fought in World War One. PRAISE FOR WE'RE ALL AUSTRALIANS NOW 'Multi-talented illustrator Mark Wilson has taken this poem and created this outstanding version of We're All Australians Now in picture book format. Wilson's clever collage layouts of sketches and oil paintings brilliantly bring this poem to life by showing us a reflection of everyday life in 1915' -- Reading Time
