Well, after more days off from work than being at work over the last fortnight it was not only great to see staff and students today at school but I was super excited to receive my copy of the iC3 magazine, published by “Western Australian School Library Association” @waslapln
💚💗💚
The iC3 magazine is a professional journal for school library staff that focuses on librarianship and information literacy at schools. This magazine is released twice a year and what an amazing job done by the iC3 co-editors Helen Tomazin @helen11tomazin and Tina Russo @tina.russo.904
💚💗💚
I am so excited to be part of this wonderful team and so excited to share my first ever article with you!

Happy reading! 💗

How can you not go past this ever so sweet, whimsical picture book written and illustrated by Simon Howe @simonhoweart
🌼🍃
Betsy and Bon are two very endearing bees, who share three loving and adventurous stories;

🐝 The Hive
🐝 The Good Idea
🐝 The Sunny Spot

Gently told, each short story touches on themes of friendship, cooperation and creativity. As the bees decide who can live in their hive, what game to play and where to enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea. Younger readers will come to understand the value of sharing feelings, compromising on big ideas and including everyone in the fun.
🌼🍃
Simon’s illustrations are simply beautiful, inviting readers to explore the bottom of the garden where ‘the sun is warm and the breeze is cool’. Every page oozes with vibrant colours of small buds, tall flowers, blossoms and a world full of imagination and play with little people down at the bottom of the garden.
🌼🍃
A perfect gift for someone, ever so sweet bedtime stories or purely a timeless collection of three sweet stories that young independent readers will love reading.
🌼🍃
Three sweet stories all with important messages.

Charming indeed! 💗

In this breathtaking middle grade graphic novel full of magic and mystery, explores the power of memories.

The Library of Memories is highly recommended. While younger readers or those looking for a perfectly straightforward narrative might struggle initially with the abstract plot, it stands out as an exceptionally beautiful, emotionally impactful gift for graphic novel lovers.

In a world far apart from ours exists a library out of time - a library that holds memories.

A fantastic, magic filled adventure with stunning illustrations!

Who doesn’t love a great GN read! 💗

Chosen for National Simultaneous Storytime 2026, LUNA ROO THE KANGAROO BALLER delivers a high energy story that will have you cheering like you’re in the stands.

Rookie Captain LUNA ROO leaves nothing on the pitch as she steps up to lead FC Outback in a thrilling face-off against Bush United.

A story that is heartwarming and gives an empowering message that grit, courage, determination, and teamwork are a winning combination.

▪️

TRICKSHOT HARRI THE CHEETAH WORLD BEATER is yet another great picture book for young readers in the Animal World Cup Series.

Harri is an exceptionally talented star cheetah playing soccer for Jungle FC. He scores four goals in the first half against the tough Safari Stars, believing he can win the entire match alone but when his father reminds him that there is “no I in team,” Harri laughs it off.

An engaging and positive story with a message about sharing, collaboration, and realizing that a true champion relies on everyone just not themselves.

Both books are very entertaining and illustrations by @jakemintonillustration are vibrant and bold catching the excitement of the game. Eye catching to all who love sport, animals, competition and especially soccer.

A Ghost in My Suitcase is about loss and healing, the importance of family and friendship, finding the strength within to overcome emotional and physical difficulties, and the value of older generations in the passing on of knowledge.
▪️
But it is also a ghost story full of adventure, power and secrets.
▪️
So excited with having this novel as a class set. Sounds incredible! 💗
