Children's book goes regional

Earlier this month, Her Excellency the Honourable Dr Jeannette Young PSM, Governor of Queensland, launched a new children’s book, ‘A Place for All Queenslanders’ at Government House.

The picture book, published by the Office of the Governor, follows a day in the life of Mac and Mary, two squirrel gliders who live in a large cedar tree on the Government House estate.

With their kookaburra friend, Goodwin, Mac and Mary learn all about the Governor’s constitutional, ceremonial and community duties, before being invited by the Governor inside Government House – ‘a place for everyone’.

The Governor and Professor this week took the publication to the regions, with special book readings taking place at Baralaba State School, Woorabinda State School and Depot Hill State School during the vice-regal couple's three-day tour of Central Queensland.
