Snippet: Soon after enrolling her daughter in hoikuen (daycare) during a summer stay in Tokyo, Lisa Katayama noticed her 4-year-old adopting a new sense of self-sufficiency at home: She began folding her clothes before putting them away, finished most of the food on her plate and used just the right amount of soap when washing her hands — a dramatic change from her daughter’s previous habits.

Snippet: In the nearly 50 years she’s been working as a musician, Amy Grant has repeatedly resisted the labels others have sought to put on her.

Snippet: On the recent school holidays, I travelled east to South Gippsland with my husband and our two children, aged 7 and 9. While we had heard much of the area’s foodie credentials and the magnificent Wilsons Promontory, they weren’t what drew us there. Our getaway was centred on transporting our family to the treasured pages of Alison Lester’s Magic Beach, which was inspired by Walkerville South beach.
