Made some treats in support of the kids’ teachers yesterday. They work so bloody hard and beyond
Some big containers with (walnutless) Afghan biscuits inside. The kids have yellow sticky notes on them labelling the content and allergens, and in the corner an illustration of a person holding a placard that says: Teachers deserve MORE!

Love these little readers from school that have Giselle Clarkson’s illustrations (and peppered with Te Reo)
A double page spread from a Ready to Read book. It shows a Weka next to its next of eggs talking to a Tūī in the foreground. The text reads: “You had a good plan, Tūī,” says Weka. “Ka pai.”

Radical urbanism in a children’s picture book
Cover of ‘Miss Leoparda’ by Natalia Shaloshvili. Translated from Russian by Lena Traer. It shows a leopard driving a yellow bus with some animal passengers on it Page depicts a bus picking up animal passengers. Text reads: “Each day, she drove animals around on their animal business. And all the seats in the bus were taken.” Page shows animals driving cars next to the yellow bus. Text reads: “The day after that, there were more empty seats on the bus. And more cars in the road.” The whole page is absolutely filled with cars driven by animals. A yellow bus is caught up in the traffic jam. Text reads: “… until the day when Miss Leoparda was the only one left on her bus. The road was now crowded with cars, coughing and spitting and passing each other. And there was a lot of arguing, because it was so packed on the road.”
