A beautiful foiled collector's edition to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Alison Lester's classic and bestselling picture book about a family's road trip around Australia.

CHILDREN'S BOOK COUNCIL 2005 PICTURE BOOK OF THE YEAR

The year I turned eight, Mum and Dad took us on a trip around Australia. Luke, Billy and I missed school for the whole winter term.

Join Grace and her family on their adventurous and sometimes funny expedition. This delightful picture book takes young readers on a journey across Australia, as a family explores the outback, the bush, and the coast. Along the way, kids will learn about the geography, culture, and people of our fascinating country, all through the eyes of a lovable family.

With its beautiful illustrations, engaging storytelling, and celebration of family and Australian life, Are We There Yet? is a must-read for children who are ready to discover the wonders of the world.

‘This is Lester at her finest. Perfect for any family about to embark on Australian travel, or for the child who is intrigued by such an idea.’ Kids Book Review

Her picture books mix imaginary worlds with everyday life, encouraging children to believe in themselves and celebrate the differences that make them special. In a career spanning decades, Alison Lester has written many books, and won numerous prestigious awards, including the Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Picture Book of the Year Award for her much-loved classic Are We There Yet? and the CBCA Eve Pownall Book of the Year Award for One Small Island.
