A reclaimed poem posting from The Poet Tree in the reserve beyond my study. 2 weeks in the elements. It's now housed safely in my notebook for posterity. 'Marco's Singing Sheep.'

We just had to be there to see Ann James receive her ASA Medal. She is a superb and unique creator for children… and champion for us all. I don’t usually play favourites, but Ann doesn’t count! Thanks for a fantastic event, @asauthors, and for all you do. asauthors.org.au/news/ann-ja…

'The Kindness Project' is a great read! Note the page design and font choices, as an example of the special touches that make a difference (besides a good story!)

Need some kindness in your life? The Kindness Project is a fab new verse novel by @DeborahAbela. Shy Nicolette is excited when her teacher introduces The Kindness Project to the class…until she’s put in a group with the very kids she tries to avoid. Full review on our website.
