Now, she has written more than 200 books, sold millions of copies, has spread the joy of reading far and wide, and she never plans to stop.

Turns out there’s a universe of possibilities out there … as long as you reach for the stars. Narrated by Australia’s first female foreign minister Julie Bishop
