    Book Catalogue Role Models

    Our Book Catalogue Role Models feature on the front cover of the Primary School Book Catalogue each operating term. They inspire young readers on the Books in Homes® Program with their childhood stories, their career choices, and what books and reading meant to them while growing up.

    Our Book Catalogue Role Models come from all walks of life… they are children’s book authors and illustrators, graphic novelists, athletes, shark attack survivors, performers, chefs and many others who represent a multitude of professions and life experiences.
