I LOVE the teacher -librarians who support authors and illustrators and celebrate reading.

Thankyou to Ailsa Holmes-Walker and Caron Baumgartner for organising this wonderful conference.

Everyone remember that at 6 p.m. 25th August there’s the Reading Hour across Australia.
Thankyou to all those librarians who came up to me and said how much Ships in the Field means to them – that it’s their story too.
We have found home in this beautiful country.
