Reposted from • .pearson.author It was a wee bit exciting to receive my IPPY Award and medal in the post!

‘Books Are NOT Just For Bedtime’ was awarded joint first place in the Children’s Book category.

Thank you, for posting these all the way to Australia!

After I show them to my class for news, they’ll be going straight to the pool room! ✌️

Reposted from • .casanova.author Book Week finished on a high for me, with a day presenting Writers’ Workshops to all classes from Foundation to Year 6 at Poonindie Community Learning Centre. So excited to see the students’ engagement levels and such wonderful writing. Lots of potential authors right there. Thank you for having me and for showing such interest in my journey in creating ‘What is in your hair today?’. 📚💕

Reposted from • .casanova.author This happened today. The moment when someone asked ‘Have you seen the girl’s costume in Room 5?’ And there she is- a beautiful little Jordy from What is in your hair today?
Best Book Week moment for me. Her mother even made a snail to go in her hair with the butterfly, flowers and leaves! ❤️
