I bought Time To Shine for my daughter’s 7th birthday, at her school librarian’s recommendation, and she insisted she wanted the whole series for Christmas. Santa listened intently this year…and delivered. Now she’s reading them for the second time and came to teach me about caimans. As she watched me drafting up blog posts for my website, she asked whether you had one, too – so we came to have a look.

Some Australian heroines that come to mind are:

Grace Bussell, a sixteen-year-old girl who saved fifty people from the shipwreck of the SS Georgette, with the assistance of her father’s stockman, Sam Isaacs, and two horses in 1876.

Fiona Stanley, an Australian medical researcher whose research now makes pregnant women take folate to prevent birth defects.

Edith Cowan, the first woman member of an Australian parliament in 1921.

We hope it helps
