Gallery/Exhibitions
Dromkeen, a graceful nineteenth-century homestead, houses a unique
collection of original artwork, manuscripts and other pre-publication
material from Australian children's books.
In the homestead's gallery rooms, exhibitions of original and preliminary
artwork from children's books are on display each school term. The exhibitions
are open to the general public and for booked excursions.
During booked educational visits Dromkeen staff will share the process of
picture book creation, as well as exploring techniques, mediums, visual
literacy and the exhibition theme.

Mum and Me
Annie White Illustrator
Hachette Children’s, April 2010
My Mum knows just what I like ... she makes me toast with vegemite. A little girl and her Mum love to laugh, play games and splash in puddles. But most of all, they love being together.
This brightly illustrated picture book, told in rhyming verse, celebrates all the fun, exciting and special moments in the day of a mother and child.
