What a great day it was at Te Anau's 21st Birthday party. Lots of people in fancy dress. (Have you noticed how nearly every children's librarian is slightly MAD about fancy dress parties?) There was a clown and me, too. But the highlight for me was the Duck's Stuck! birthday cake. Delicious!   more...

So have you heard about the BLOOM festival yet? Me and a whole bunch of talented people from writers to circus performers to musicians and rugby stars will be in Matakana for the weekend of January 20-22. Should be a fabulous weekend! I'll be telling a few stories,reading some books and running a workshop or two. What a great way (and a fantastic place) to spend a long, hot (hopefully) summer's day? If you want to know more, look at the festival's Facebook page - Bloom Festival. See you there! more...

Another stunning picture book by the ever-imaginative, highly talented, award-winning author Kyle Mewburn.  Simply gorgeous with beautiful and evocative illustrations by Deidre Copeland. Awards will follow for this, I have no doubt. Truly beautiful.
