First event for 2016

Happy 2016.

The year is already showing signs of being a very interesting one indeed.

And kicking off the fun for me is the CBCA Illawarra Sub-Branch KIDS DAY OUT  at Ribbonwood Dapto on January 20.

If you are in the area, come along and join in the fun at this FREE event with many terrific authors and illustrators and storytellers, including: Sandy Fussell, Dianne Bates, Jodie Wells-Slowgrove, Allison Tait, Oliver Pommavanh, Marie Smith, Di Ellis, Jody Cauduro and Lilli Pang. (Hope I didn't miss anyone!)

You can find the program here.

And the author poster here.

See you there!
Yours in books and story.

Big book day out

This event was one of my faves from last year. And this year it seems like it is going to be even bigger and better. Lots of authors and illustrators! Lots of stories! Lots of craft and activities! Lots of fun! I will be in the storytelling tent doing one of my favourite things - telling stories. I also intend to hang out in the crafty area with some platypus activities.

A wonderful celebration of children's books with a community festival feel. If you have young readers at home or if you are interested in kids books please try to come along. I guarantee a fun family day.
