Australia’s Nightingale: Nellie Melba

Cassy Liberman

Australia’s Nightingale is a new addition to Cassie Liberman’s series of empowering picture books about inspirational Australian women.

Review

This is the first picture book about Nellie Melba and it elegantly portrays a yesteryear of privilege. It was a time when women weren’t encouraged to pursue a career or even become educated, but Nellie’s father, luckily, had different views and so she was sent to a progressive girls’ school. Music was also a big part of her life and, enriched by her mother’s passion for it, she grew up believing in her talent. She had a solid foundation for success and with hard work and taking every opportunity that came her way she became one of Australia’s most famous women. This sumptuously illustrated book is a charming introduction to her. For ages 6 and up.
