Following in the footsteps of the best-selling and very popular
Girls’ Night In anthologies
comes a collection of never-before-seen stories, poems and
illustrations from the who’s who of Australian and overseas
kids writers, plus some fabulous celebrities. Over thirty
writers have contributed including Morris Gleitzman,
Andy Griffiths, Graeme Base, Garth Nix, Eoin Colfer, Jessica
Adams, Andrew Daddo, Pia Miranda, and Ken Done to
name a few.
All the royalties from Kids’ Night In will
be donated to War Child, an aid agency that helps children
whose lives have been torn apart by war in areas such as Africa,
the Balkans and Afghanistan.
This collection has been edited by Jessica Adams, Juliet Partridge
and Nick Earls. Jessica is a patron of War Child UK and a
trustee of War Child Australia and has edited all three previous
books in this series (Girls’ Night In; Girls
Night In, Gentleman by Invitation; and Big Night
Out). She also writes astrology books and novels including
the best-selling Single White Email. Juliet Partridge
has written 16 books for young children as well as editing
and writing books about children’s books. She is one
of the judges in 2003/2004 for the Children’s Book Council
of Australia award for information books. Nick Earls is the
author of nine books including the best-selling Zigzag
Street, Bachelor Kisses and most recently Making
Laws for Clouds. War Child UK has asked him to be the
founding chair of the organisation in Australia.
Bedtime stories, rainy day stories, or holiday reads - there’s
no collection like it. It’s a great kids' night in.
