Best-selling kids’ author Kate DiCamillo says that learning to read was like being given wings to fly with. What do other writers for children remember about becoming readers?

In this 10-part series Australian authors Mem Fox, Andy Griffiths, Nick Earls and others share their early reading experiences. They talk about the books that mattered to them and read from one that still does. And they offer their thoughts on helping today’s kids discover the pleasures of reading. The series comes with a book list compiled from the authors’ suggestions.
