Open Right

Short and sweet this week from one of our roving reporters who attended the launch of Gus Gordon’s new book, the very charmingHerman and Rosie last weekend and The Little Bookroom.

At this picture book launch with a difference, adults were just as keen as children to get their copy of this whimsical new book signed by the author.

Gus has written a very quirky, soulful picture book set in summertime New York. It features subways, hotdogs, jazz clubs and singing on rooftops!

Children will love the two apartment dwellers Herman and Rosie who live a few blocks apart and are both into music. The parent/grandparent readers will love the maps, sketches, jazz references and the hum of Manhattan.

Gus hails from Sydney, but we’re thrilled to say that he will be visiting Melbourne schools in Book Week 2013.
