1 International Book Giving Day 2016

bookgivingday/" target="_blank">what could be more loving that giving the gift of story  International Book Giving Day 2016

Tomorrow, 14 February, is bookgivingday/" target="_blank">International Book Giving Day!

Perfectly timed with Valentine's Day--what could be more loving that giving the gift of story ... and literacy? You can give books to your kids, to your partner, to your friends or colleagues. You can give books to medical centres or women's shelters or to strangers. Or you can even give them to yourself.

Tomorrow I'll be handing a stash of books I've been saving to up - to random kids in the street. I'll also be heading to a local bookstore to buy up tomes for my kids--and thankfully, it will be my birthday next week and I always gift myself books for my birthday!

Who will you be giving a book to this IBGD? Be sure to use the #bookgivingday hashtag to share your activity!

0 Smile Cry Launch Party Wrap-Up!

4.bpspot/-IkNKqmc92Qo/VtpUIL328TI/AAAAAAABHF0/O1_kQQAgeSA/s1600/2b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

Launched! Smile Cry has set sail at the glorious Harry Hartog store in Woden, Canberra.

Piglet, Bunny and Cat made a crocheted appearance, along with ate-all-the-pies pies, ice-cream-plopping-down cupcakes and sweetie-pie-wink cookies. There were animal masks, colouring-in and goodie bags, and we even had some 'suggestions from the audience' (five-year-olds are so eloquent) that were so utterly touching, including a loneliness-in-the-playground-cry (gasp!) and a sunshine-smile.

Gosh, kids are so beautiful. I so loved meeting the most divine little souls today. Many of them brought along their own cuddly toys, especially pigs, rabbits or cats!

Jess Racklyeft, my insanely-good illustrator, was unable to attend (in Melbourne, with babies) but she was fondly spoken of, and so many people ranted and raved about her stunning illustrations.

Thank you so much, Harry Hartog, for hosting us in your divine store! and to everyone who came along and enjoyed the story. We sold all but one book!

And my eternal thanks to the amazing Nicole Godwin for her organisational skills, support and ability to take all these phenomenal snaps at just the right moment. So appreciate that girl.

And lastly to my dear friend Jen Storer for coming to Canberra on the quickest flight known to mankind, for launching my book, being stylish and eloquent beyond belief, and for filling my heart this weekend. This is one generous, thoughtful woman--so busting with creative passion, it's palpable. She also signed a stack of books!

I hope you enjoy these pics from a very special morning--and that they make you smile! ...
