MoonFish: poems to make you laugh and think, is Harry's "sparky" new collection of poems featuring eye-catching art by some of Australia's most amazing illustrators including Shaun Tan, Leigh Hobbs, Anna Pignataro, Tony Flowers and more.
Harry believes the element of humour in his work is what engages his young readers and inspires them to try writing for themselves.
The book will be launched by local award-winning illustrator, Julian Laffan, at BRAG on Sunday 24 March 3pm. Harry will perform some of his catchy rhymes and raps which just have to be heard.
Everyone, especially kids, are welcome to attend the launch.
