24.01.2022 Children's books I love from my personal collection - My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes by Eve Sutton, illustrated by Lynley Dodd. So much to love about this book. Cats from all over the world do all kinds of impressive things but the narrator's cat likes to hide in boxes. It's so beautiful.
23.01.2022 The countdown is on - A New Friend hits the shelves on January 1st! I'm really excited about sharing the world of Pepper Creek and Serena's beautiful illustrations with the world. A huge thank you to Scholastic Australia, Laura Sieveking, Serena Geddes, Kate Wenban, Cassandra Rathbone and the whole team for making this happen! Thanks to my Pony Club friends and our collective memories for inspiring this divine series - Britt Carseldine, Shelley Sergiacomi and Belinda Chadwick.
