Posted: 22 October 2009
The Centennial Parklands Foundation is pleased to be involved in the book launch of Australian author Libby Hathorn's new book - Zahara's Rose.
Sarah Whyte, Chair of the Foundation, introduced Libby in front of a crowd of adoring fans from surrounding schools (including Claremont, Clovelly, Emanuel, Kensington and Randwick) and invited guests at the new Education Precinct in Centennial Park.
'We're delighted to be involved in Libby's launch and look forward to working with Libby on a number of future collaborations,' said Ms Whyte.
About the book
Her new picture book, Zahara’s Rose, is the tale of a young girl who tries to deliver the Flower of Heaven to Queen Amyritis and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
The evocative story and stunning illustrations, combined with the insightful cultural observations and historical context, all promise the book to be a world-wide success.
