Each year in August the Children’s Book Council of Australia brings children and books together celebrating Children’s Book Week. In 2025 the City of Canning Libraries will be celebrating Children's Book Week 80th Anniversary with the help of Tamara Moss!

Tamara Moss grew up in Perth, Western Australia. She has a BA majoring in Asian Studies and a teaching diploma, which she used to teach primary school for ten years. Inspired by her students’ love of adventure, Tamara wrote the Lintang series, beginning with Lintang and the Pirate Queen. The three books follow twelve-year-old Lintang as she joins a pirate crew on the high seas, facing mythical creatures and travelling to fantastical lands.

Tamara also writes adult crime and thrillers under the name Tamara M. Bailey.

Come along at Willetton Library to join in on this fantastic, family friendly interactive storytelling workshop.

This engaging session is designed for families and children aged between 5 and 12 years old.

Fantastic local author Tamara Moss is coming to Manning Library to write with you!

Tamara is the fantastic local author of the Lintang series. The first book in the series, Lintang and the Pirate Queen, was shortlisted for the Readings Children's Book Prize!
