SELLING FAST
Bring incredible stories to life with Peter Carnavas, as he leads a hands-on workshop inspired by illustrations in his books My Brother is a Beast and Blue Whale Blues.
My Brother is a Beast (Penguin Random House) is the fourth book in Peter Carnavas and Damon Young’s series that celebrates just how crazy, different and delightful families can be. This brilliant and boisterous picture book celebrates brothers everywhere ... especially the beastly ones.

Peter Carnavas
Peter Carnavas grew up in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. He became a primary school teacher and it was during this time that he began to immerse himself in picture books. His first book, Jessica’s Box, was shortlisted for the 2008 Queensland Premier’s Literary Award and the 2009 CBCA Crichton Award for Emerging Illustrators. He has since written and illustrated many picture books, which have been translated into German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch. Peter lives on the Sunshine Coast with his wife, two daughters and a scruffy dog that occasionally escapes.
