On Saturday, at the Abbotsford Convent, Jen Storer launched Truly Tan, the first in what will be a series for middle primary readers. Tan, the main character, is the oldest of four girls in a family who have just moved from the city to the country.
Although you can only see the front few of the audience, there was a large crowd here to help Jen celebrate. There was talking and laughing, singing and even dancing. Go Jen! Go Tan!
Happy Book Birthday to Through the Darkening Sea! @petercheong_ @harperkidsau

About a book. Yesterday morning, I presented to a local quilter group, only slightly anxious about showing my replica version of The Girl Gide quilt. The GG quilt and its gifting is the subject of The Flower Garden: A Changi Secret. I learnt as much as I shared, a reminder that every quilt carries stories.
In the late afternoon, I shared The Anzac Billy with Joey scouts in front of their local cenotaph. They were also full of stories of Anzacs and remembering. And energy. They had that in spades! #history #anzacs #children
