Drawn Onward

From the masterful pen of multi-award-winning Meg McKinlay and dynamic new illustrator Andrew Frazer, Drawn Onward explores shifting perspective and the inner voice. The text is a palindrome that takes readers from the glass half empty—"There is no light on the horizon and it is foolish to think you can change anything at all"—to the glass half full—"You can change anything at all. It is foolish to think there is no light on the horizon." This powerful picture book for older readers is a call to hope that cleverly illustrates how the very same situation can be viewed quite differently depending on your perspective.

Meg McKinlay is a writer and poet whose work includes the Prime Minister's Literary Award-winning A Single Stone and Children's Book Council of Australia-shortlisted No Bears and Duck for a Day. Andrew Frazer is a multidisciplinary artist from Western Australia, whose practice ranges from public murals to illustration and from hand lettering to arts management.
