For a visual treat, check out the State Library's charming collection of illustrations from children's picture books - from old favourites to more modern offerings.

Original artwork, sketches and drawings by over 40 Australian illustrators are on display, from Bob Graham and Ann James to Graeme Base, Leigh Hobbs and Terry Denton. Whether you already know works such as Greetings from Sandy Beach and Are We There Yet?, or are yet to discover Old Tom's Holiday, the vibrant exhibition entices viewers to indulge their inner child and be transported to both familiar and fantastical surroundings.

Events coinciding with the exhibition include tours, talks and creative competitions for tomorrow's budding illustrators. Check out the books themselves at the library's shop or attend one of the story time sessions - PJ's optional!
