Arts Queensland book is revealed … Finally.
Arts Queensland Book
In 2017, Karen Tyrrell (that’s me) won an Arts Queensland grant for a children’s picture book.
“This project is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.”
Logan City Council generously sponsored and supported my picture book too!
Incredibly, the CEO of Queensland Writers Centre, principals of schools and a wide array of community leaders support my children’s book.
What’s this Arts Queensland book about?
What’s the cover look like?
Taa-daa!
With much excitement, I’m thrilled to announce my brand-new Arts Queensland book.

Ready. Set. Discover Logan tells the friendship between Yana, a newly-arrived girl and an aboriginal boy, Bunji.
Together, they explore 14 sensational destinations in the thriving green City of Logan.
