The Silken Thread
From one of Australia’s most esteemed and award-winning children’s authors and Australian Children’s Laureate for 2022–23 comes a magical story of kindness, courage and friendship’s power to make dreams come true.
A magical story of friendship forged over distance between two children, from very different worlds, who share a common experience of loss and a passion for a life where dreams can come true.

The Australian Children’s Laureate
As the seventh Australian Children’s Laureate for 2022-23 my theme is IMAGINE A STORY. I believe that it is important to regularly use your imagination by reading, writing and drawing stories. Reading stories about diverse characters by diverse authors, helps you understand about different people and cultures in our communities.
Gabrielle Wang is an award-winning Australian author and illustrator whose stories often blend Chinese and Western culture with elements of fantasy. A former Children’s Laureate, she draws on her rich heritage and love of art to create imaginative, heartfelt books for young readers.
