I’m really pleased that Meet Mary MacKillop has been released in paperback format today. This means it’s now available in a choice of three formats: hardcover, ebook or, of course, paperback. It’s nice to think of it reaching more new readers.

It’s been almost a year since its first release, but I still absolutely adore the cover, showcasing the illustrative genius of Sonia Martinez.

And, of course, the internal illustrations are similarly wonderful.

Meet Mary MacKillop is the story of how Mary set up her first school, in Penola. She was an amazing woman who believed that every child should have the chance to be educated regardless of social status, gender, or religion.
