Loved talking to the teacher-librarians at Maroubra Junction Public School in the eastern Suburbs of Sydney.
The Reading Hour is on the 25th August – mums and dads, teachers and kids, grocers and butchers, life savers and dog trainers …. EVERYONE … are going to pick up a book and read for the National Year of Reading 2012.
Pick up a book and read – in a group, under a tree, with friends …. it’s cool and colossal.

Kate Colley shared her favourite new books – you can always count on Bloomin’ Books.
I shared ‘Ships in the Field’ and the complex issues within Anna Pigantaro’s painting:-
- the dog of war and the dog of hope
- the fighter planes becoming birds of hope
- refugees who are transparent and become so small as they board the ships
- and …..
-with some of my favourite people – teacher-librarians.
