Quite the thrill to be a part of the Bologna Children's Book Fair this year with our new Hardie Grant Books book In the Rockpool the hero face of Australian Publishers Association picture books

Swimming with the big fish at Bologna Children's Book Fair 2024. In the Rockpool is the face of the Australian Publishers Association international rights catalogue and collateral for Australian picture books. Illustrator #HannahSommerville & I are grinning like giddy kids at the beach Hardie Grant Books #bcbf24

As an upcoming May Gibbs Literature Trust Fellow - I say Go for it!

Congrats all - esp to my pal Sher Rill Ng

Teachers - if you're planning Semester 2 & 3 author incursions to literacy connection & writing skills, I have some availability from late June 2024. (August Book Week all filled up though). My school packages available through Lamont authors lamontauthors.com.au/lamont_author/…

Big week at desk writing charity campaign copywriting and I’m under the watchful gaze of the last of the Easter eggs. (Ignore dusty keyboard - we live in the sand dunes and window left open, not an indication of no words typed!)

Are you Searoad Ferries crossing these school holidays? Next Friday 12 April I’m StoryTelling across the sea. Come say Ahoy if you’re all aboard! #JettyJumping #picturebook #childrensauthor #storytime bit.ly/4aDBRa5

Hello #SouthAustralia I am headed your way for the #MayGibbsLiteratureTrust Fellowship. Between researching & writing I'll be scoffing scones & talking creating #picturebooks for children ... Come join me for this fabbo High Tea. I'll save you cupcakes! bit.ly/4cNKDV9

Everyone in my house is on 2 weeks holiday, while I'm on copywriting deadlines. Telepathically ordering them to bring me cuppas & yesterday's Sunday baking. No-one has tuned into the way of the Working Mum Mind yet!

Ciao Bologna Children's Book Fair! If you’re strolling past the @australianpublishers stand, give In the Rockpool artwork a wave. Hannah Sommerville’s cover art is the face of #Australianpicturebooks. Hardie Grant Children's Publishing rights catalogue has a sneaky peek at our next book too! #bcbf24

My son has just returned home from a gap year in Canada & he had a mighty mane. Yesterday it got the chop as he prepares to enter a new gap year adventure in the navy. His mates shaved his dome but he’s keen to donate the braids. Do any Aussie wig makers accept them?

Our rockpoolers are having so much fun that we have some clap-happy news. In the Rockpool is OFF TO REPRINT after 4 months in the world. Thanks to readers, booksellers & librarians for exploring the rockpools with #HannahSommerville Hardie Grant Books & I. #picturebooks

I shared my own award-winning experiences and how it impacted my writing opportunities with Thuy On ArtsHub recently

We’re back! Hannah Sommerville & I are thrilled to share the cover of our next picture book together, Amid the Sand Dunes with Hardie Grant Books The next book in our Little World's Series is Out Oct 29! #picturebooks

How many more hearts can break?

I am ready for you The CBCA Children's Book Week! Let the road tripping towards young readers begin! (From next week onwards, it's going to be a heck of a big Term 3 & 4 but I'm firing on all school visit cylinders! I may be a little wonky by the end though!) #BookWeek

Lovely ocean story company!
