Love Denistone East Primary School in Sydney

Love August – Book Week, Book Month – as I get to speak to kids from everywhere.

As an ambassador for the National Year of Reading and author, I have two roles – advocating reading as well as sharing my books.

Denistone East Public is a wonderful school.

I enjoyed being part of their Open Day with morning tea cake sales, Life Education, classrooms filled with displays and the opportunity to share my books with the kids and teachers.

They are such smart kids with thoughtful questions and answers and shared their own backgrounds – from China to Greece – as we explored ‘Ships in the Field’ and the journey of finding home in new lands.

Thankyou for the hospitality of librarian Jenny Cavenaugh and her team with the lovely poster of my books.  

Thankyou to Mr Middleton the Deputy Principal who helped out with my Ships in the Field powerpoint and is a great teacher.
