Four incredible worlds by Alison Lester are presented together in this very sweet mini library format.

Imagine a perfect beach where you can splash through the waves, make sandcastles, explore rock-pools, and build a bonfire under the stars. Come to Magic Beach, where adventure begins.

Imagine yourself deep in the jungle, under the sea, in a land of ice and snow, in a prehistoric swamp, then turn the page and find all the animals living there. Enjoy Alison Lester's Imagine, with intricate pictures ofthe natural world to explore again and again.

Imagine growing up on a farm, living with cows, horses, ducks, dogs - and one very special animal companion. Relive the year of the palomino pony, told with mischief and humour in My Farm, a vivid picture of a country childhood.

Imagine a group of wild ponies - the gold palomino, the chestnut, the bay; the pinto, the brown and the dappley grey - running loose in the mountains, and the travelling circus that wants to tame them. Go back in time in The Painted Poniesin a beautiful story about friendship and freedom.

Alison Lester grew up on a farm by the sea, and first rode a horse as a baby in her father's arms. Her picture books mix imaginary worlds with everyday life, encouraging children to believe in themselves and celebrate the differences that make them special. Alison is involved in many community art projects and spends part of every year travelling to remote Indigenous communities, using her books to help children and adults write and draw about their own lives. In 2012, Alison became Australia's first Children's Book Laureate, a position she shared with Boori Monty Pryor. In 2016, she was awarded the Dromkeen Medal for her outstanding achievement in the creation of Australian children's and young adult literature, and in 2018 she became the first children's book writer to win the Melbourne Prize for Literature, for her outstanding contribution to Australian literature and cultural and intellectual life. In 2019, Alison was awarded an Australia Post Legends Award and featured on a stamp, as well as being the recipient of a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the 2019 Australia Day Honours List.
