About this ebook
We're All Australians Now follows the tradition of other A & R children's classics such as Mulga Bill's Bicycle and Click Go the Shears with the poem "We're All Australians Now" by A. B. 'Banjo' Paterson illustrated by the award-winning Mark Wilson.
In 1915, Australia's much-loved bush poet Banjo Paterson wrote, as an open letter to the troops, a poem he titles 'We're All Australians Now'.
In this beautifully illustrated picture book, award-winning illustrator Mark Wilson evokes the spirit of Paterson's words in memory of those who fought in World War One.
