    Travelling through 2018.

    The year started with workshops at the Brisbane City Council libraries as part of their fabulous Summer Reading Program. The Lion in our Living Room felt right at home with their ‘Go Wild with Summer Reading,’ theme. It was a great opportunity to meet many young readers, as well as a chance to see some […]

  • 2018: A Fun-Filled Year of Lions and Bears.

      Looking back over the year I am touched by the recognition of how many children and creatives I have had the opportunity of meeting, and sharing experiences of our love of story and books. It is an honour to walk together with children into the world of imagination. A world where there are vast […]

  • Dads and ‘The Lion in our Living Room’

    It has been a wonderful experience meeting so many fathers and witnessing their response to The Lion in our Living Room; a book that celebrates fathers, their involvement with their children, the games they play, and the quiet moments spent together. The mighty lion is of course, really dad. Many fathers can relate to the […]

  • Why I use puppetry in my storytelling.

    Storytelling and puppetry are almost magical for children. There is a tangible focus of attention when a puppet appears or when the page of a book is turned.   Children are in a unique phase of life where they can enter the realm of imagination with ease. Paint a picture, describe a scene, and suddenly […]

  • Mother’s Day and The Bear in our Backyard

    With Mother’s Day just around the corner, and a recently released picture book that celebrates mothers, I put pen to paper on why I feel picture books make extra special gifts. There are many reasons why picture books can make the perfect Mother’s Day gift, but two are particularly close to my heart. Firstly, stories […]

  • Symbolism, Picture Books and The Dream Bird

I would like to share some of my thoughts behind the symbols and colours that I chose in illustrating Aleesah Darlison’s beautiful bedtime story, The Dream Bird.     Firstly, I […]

  • The Inspiring, Insightful and Entertaining Janeen Brian.

    Janeen Brian’s enthusiasm for children’s literature is contagious. Today I had the pleasure of meeting Janeen at the Noosa Library, as part of the First 5 Forever program. The large crowd of children were engrossed with her fun-filled story, “I’m a Dirty Dinosaur.” Together the children got to, “sniff and snuff about… shake about the […]
