A great series for young readers and equally great to listen to someone (teacher, parent) read out loud.

@ZoeMeager Yay! Congratulations.

I’m absolutely floating to be a runner-up in the Seán Ó Faoláin, and Camilla Grudova having read my story is like first prize in itself! ✨

@ZoeMeager Such a shame but your words and stories remain with you wherever you go.

Sometimes you get to stay at your dream residency, and sometimes you get chucked out with a day’s notice. Thanks Auckland Council. Bye writing buddies. Happy belated birthday to the first resident, my everything writer, Janet Frame 🎈🍰

Play Wild: Nature craft projects for tamariki by Rachel Clare. Have fun creating things out of petals, leaves, pinecones and more, with this quality-produced, photographic craft book. booktrailers4kidsandya.wordpress.com/2024/08/11/pla… via @Edna331
