Today I'll be talking with Jonathan Green and John Schumann on RN
Drive, 'In the Drawing Room' about our new picture books and about
writing war for young people. John is author and singer of the classic
Vietnam song 'I was Only Nineteen' which is now a picture book,
illustrated by Craig Smith. My book, 'Meet the Anzacs' is illustrated by
talented young painter, Max Berry.
Our books both talk about war, but different wars and different
perspectives. But so much is the same. No one can ever be prepared for
how war will affect them and no one is the same after experiencing war.
Tune in to RN Drive AM 621 between 6pm and 8pm tonight to hear what we talked about. There will be a podcast on the website later.
