I just found out Message in A Sock has won another award!
2019 Northern Lights Book Awards – Winner in the Historical category – for children
How exciting! It’s such an honour to be recognised. I’m also looking forward to more stickers on our books!
I had a fantastic Book Week at Yolla District School. There were animals on display in the school hall; a sheep and her lambs, chickens and rabbits!
I was positioned amongst all the wonderful book week exhibits, and got to watch the book parade too. I did workshops with Kindy and Grades 3, 4, 6,7 and 8.
Two wonderful workshops at Penrith Library.
Fox and Moonbeam movable puppet workshop and Storyboard Collage Workshop.
I can now reveal that ‘Message In a Sock’ has been shortlisted in the NSW Premier’s History Award in the ‘Young People’s History Prize’! I am so excited! We get these lovely silver stickers on our books now too! Congratulations on all those shortlisted!

My Madhatter’s Tea Party hat and giant Cappuccino Hat have found a permanent and loving home at Bygone Beautys Treasured Teapot Museum and Tearooms at Leura.
These hats received considerable media coverage at The Melbourne Cup and at Randwick Racecourse, also winning the Crazy Hat Competition.
The museum is well worth a visit when you are in the area with some stunning examples of Teapots and relevant paraphernalia.
You can find more information about the museum at http://www.bygonebeautys.com.au.
I’m pictured with Maurice Cooper OAM who is the owner of the museum.
Message in a Sock has been shortlisted for the West Australian Readers’ Award! What an unexpected surprise, and next to some big names like Shaun Tan and Pig the Pug!
Thank you to the wonderful staff and students at Love of Learning ELC for having me… oops I mean “Moonbeam” the rabbit.. for Book Week 2018! I was especially lucky to be able to sit on a toadstool for reading time!
