If you could travel wherever you choose, to worlds imagined and new, where are the places that you’d like to go and what in the world would you do?

Take a journey through words and drawings in this magical adventure as the children of The Royal Children’s Hospital wonder where everyone at the hospital might go - the doctors, the nurses, the teachers, and even themselves. With a lyrical text and additional artwork from much-loved creators Jane Godwin and Alison Lester, this unforgettable collaboration explores the magic of imagination and celebrates the joy of coming home.

Praise for the Book

"The endpapers filled with clouds, each with a child’s name on it and sprinkled with stars tell the story. These are children looking for an escape from their hospitalization through their imagination" - Story Links.

About the Author

Alison Lester

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.
