Here is my contribution to the #ourothermother campaign showing love for planet earth. I spend a lot of my time like this - a baby or toddler tied to me. #ourothermother has been doing it for far longer! Happy belated #earthday xx https://www.instagram.com/p/CN_g5eDsLus/?igshid=1gt725ey5pstp

WOW!! Song of the River has just been featured on @julieslibraryshow. It was amazing to hear Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton read the book. I LOVED watching The Sound of Music with my Nana as a child and now my baby daughter’s first word was ‘doe’ from Do-re-mi - so it’s safe to say I’m star struck right now!! Yay @geckopress and Joy Cowley the author of Song of the River. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEHzhjdseA7/?igshid=mahm71omps2z

Today is a celebration of New Zealand children’s books and I have been asked to post a photo of my most beloved NZ children’s book - which is the classic ‘My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes’ by Eve Sutton and Lynley Dodd. I loved this book so much as a child, my mum made me a miniature replica of it for my dolls house - hand water coloured and inked (scale with a 20c coin)! #booksalive #nzcya https://www.instagram.com/p/CDkfzbisFxS/?igshid=1e7kps6mvhmlu
