In this own-voice IVF story, meet Violet who is having the best day ever at a dress-up party with all her friends. But it wouldn't be a party without a few hiccups ...
Guess How I Was Born explores diverse families and all the ways a child may come into the world, including IVF, adoption and your family. Delightful, honest and fun, this book creates opportunities for children to celebrate their uniqueness
Susanne writes for young people to laugh, learn, love and be courageous in a challenging world. She writes for adults to explore with kids ideas that excite and empower them. As the child of refugees, story is the secret ingredient as a pathway to home and self belief. Presented with the Lifetime Social Justice Literature Award for her body of work by the International Literacy Association and an Order of Australia, Susannes books are recognised as capturing hope be it the joyous and playful cockatoos in Theres a Gang in Our Street or the heroic kids in Heroes of the Holocaust.Her loved I Am Jack series has become a rite-of-passage on school bullying adapted into a play that toured across Australia and USA, while Harmony Day is at the centre of Elephants Have Wings. Endorsed by Room to Read, Cancer Council, Life Education, anti bullying, literacy, many organisations, Susanne takes her stories from the Outback to Istanbul to everywhere, because kids matter.
