Lit Kids Magazine is a good one-line publishing option for 5-13 year old creatives. A quarterly with themed submissions, it requires parental permission. I like that it provides mentors helping kids to improve their writing & art. Check them out, and check out their latest issue. #kidswriting

It's Nature Book Week in Australia. My fave kind of book, they are beautiful, informative, entertaining and inspiring. People can't care about something they haven't experienced first-hand - nature books are the gateway to making future conservationists. 💚Here are some I wrote. #NatureBookWeek2024

The good news: I've been visiting local bookshops to sign copies of my new picture book with Annie White called DOG BEACH.
The bad news: about 1 in 3 times, they don't have DOG BEACH in stock.
The good news: it's because DOG BEACH has sold out!
The best news: they are ordering more.
