Love the look of this book!
My mate Giselle (whom I don’t think is here yet) has a book launch on 5 October at Unity Wellington for her lovely kids’ book on observing your backyard.

You know what happens to kids who grow up with unfettered access to books?
They read.
They think critically.
And when they have questions or feel uncomfortable, they turn to trusted adults in their lives & have essential conversations that help them grow.
Be that adult instead of banning books.

I made a grid of all the craft/writing-related books I've read in the order I read them because I was curious to see how my interests have progressed over time. I started writing PBs first, then switched my focus to MG, and I think that's reflected here. (1/2)
