Blueprints

This is a series of books for a children's literacy program published in 2007/2008 by Pearson Education Australia's Rigby imprint. The program is divided into topic units and levels. Each unit comprises non-fiction books, fiction chapter books and Big Ideas books (which contain short stories, poetry and short non-fiction pieces). As well as the books listed below, I also have a short story in the The Big Ideas Book: Families in Focus.
