Their future is spread out in front of them, and they can imagine all the different roads they can take and all the different worlds that they could live in. They are the future and they they know it, you know. they're beyond being little kids, they're beginning to think about the kind of adult they're going to become and the kind of world they want to live in. And especially for The Bone Sparrow, which is aimed at kids who are. They dive into the world, which is harder and harder to do I find as an adult reader.Īnd so, it's the perfect vehicle for exploring what our world is like.
So, when they read a story they deeply, deeply imagine what that's like for the characters and the kind of. And I feel that myself, that I've lost this layer of imagination when I read books now in our busy lives. And so, when kids are given books and when they read them, they read them I think differently to the way adults do. So, from the moment they're born they are constantly taking in, sucking in all this new information and everything we say and everything we talk about with them, they're imagining what that must be like. And I say this a lot but I really strongly believe it, that kids want. ZANA: I think one of the wonderful things with kids is that they are so open to imagination. Why is children's literature a vehicle to talk about human rights? That is not an award I have seen awarded in Australia before, so congratulations.ĪSTRID: And my first question. Now, that is an international award done by Amnesty International and the Chartered Institute of Library Professionals to celebrate human rights in children's literature. Now The Bone Sparrow was listed for and awarded multiple awards, including the prestigious Amnesty CILIP Honour. ASTRID: Zana Fraillon, welcome to The Garret.ĪSTRID: Now, we're here to talk about The Bone Sparrow, your 2016 beautiful work of fiction.
