Phil is a CBCA SA Honorary Member and we were excited to celebrate this launch with him! With fellow SA author @charlie_archbold warmly interviewing Phil, the audience heard the story behind this story. Phil shared the very personal (and persistent) 30-year journey that has taken him from making up stories with his small children in the backyard, through multiple re-writes and rejections, to finally holding the published book in his hands. Phil pens a song for each book he writes, and the audience was treated to a wonderful musical performance by Phil and his longtime friend, music producer and arranger, Glyn Lehmann @glynsmusic We can't wait to read this one and share it with the children in our lives. Congratulations Phil! #booklaunch #philcummings #sacreatives #events 02 Oct 2026 We were honoured to be invited to a Reception at Government House tonight. Her Excellency the Honourable Frances Adamson AC, @governorsouthaustralia and Mr Rod Bunten held the Reception for organisations of which they are Patrons. Our CBCA SA Secretary, Kylie Grant @kygr.ant, attended along with our 2026 Honorary Member @katrinagermein. CBCA SA has been grateful to have had an incredible show of support from Her Excellency and Mr Bunten as our Chief Patrons. They are passionate about children's literacy, and their support both acknowledges the extraordinary contribution CBCA SA has made in South Australia by bringing children and books together for 80+ years, and highlights that sharing Australian stories and inspiring future readers has never been more important. #patron #cbcasa #governorsouthaustralia 22 Sep 2026 Here's a great opportunity for one of our creative or academic members to visit WA - the @edithcowanuniversity (ECU)'s School of Education is offering the exciting new Lesley Derksen Visiting Fellowship in Children’s Literature!

The Lesley Derksen Visiting Fellow must be someone whose work demonstrates a significant connection to children’s literature. Applications are now open and close on 15 November 2026.

Sean was introduced by CBCA SA committee and Honorary Member @janeen.brian, and presented a very entertaining running commentary and live digital demonstration of how he illustrates his popular picture books and graphic novels. After the demonstration, the audience participated enthusiastically in an honest and often hilarious Q & A session with Sean. We heard about all of his books, including a brilliant new @sensory_monsters series in partnership with his wife, Caris Bailey. Thanks to @burnsidelibrary, and thanks to Mike Lucas from @shakespearesbookshop for selling Sean's books at the event. #cbcasa #events #authorillustrator 17 Sep 2026 ✨ Children's Book Launch Announcement ✨ Join @burnsidelibrary for the highly anticipated launch of CBCA SA Honorary Member Phil Cummings’ latest magical adventure, Bodder Finn at the Edge of the World šŸ“… Saturday 3 October ā° 1.30 pm - 3 pm šŸ“Œ @burnsidelibrary šŸ’° Free Years in the making, this magical story of adventure, courage and a hidden world is very close to Phil’s heart.
