We have the chance to turn the pages over while reading about the life and legacy of Australia's own 'voice', John Farnham, in this beautifully illustrated and collectible Little Golden Book!

There was one thing that always made Johnny happy - music. He would whistle, hum or sing wherever he went.

Read the inspiring story about the life of Australia's singing sensation, John Farnham - from growing up in England to becoming a teen pop idol in Australia, and how his decision to record one song would end up changing his life, and the face of Australian music, forever.

Looking for beloved classic tales, timeless new stories, awesome biographies and favourite characters? There's a Little Golden Book for that!
