Atwell Primary School’s Jade Ackerman, Aubin Grove Primary School pair Sofia Martinez and Ella Coleman and South Coogee Primary School duo Zane Anderson and Katherine Moore were among the 21 students selected by a panel to have their illustrations featured in a book written by Eddie Drury.
Drury also selected the winning drawing to feature on the cover of the book, with that honour going to eight-year-old Zane.
