Who is the emerging Children's Book Author
In the heart of the Limestone Coast Region, an local elder stands poised to unveil her remarkable stories to the world.
With her identity shrouded in mystery, she has dedicated years to crafting her talent and now ready to release a book that weaves together the rich tapestry of her creative imagination.
Anticipation builds as the Penola Coonawarra Arts Festival in 2026 approaches, she will finally reveal her name and the wisdom contained within her pages.
This moment promises to be a celebration not just of her journey, but of the vibrant heritage that defines the Limestone Coast.
Supporting our Award Recipient
The Fellowship Guild is dedicated to the creative voices of our community, and recently, we had the privilege of mentoring an elder from the Limestone Coast Region on her journey to write her first children's book.
With guidance and support, we explored her ideas, helping her shape captivating characters and enchanting stories that resonate with young readers.
This experience not only fostered her passion for storytelling but also strengthened connection within the community. Together, we celebrate the magic of imagination and the joy of sharing stories that inspire future generations.
Keep up to date with everything that is happening with this emerging author as she launches her book at the 2026 Penola Coonawarra Arts Festival!
