POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Happy #sundayshelfie day! It is my pleasure to welcome @seethadodd_author and @elizabeth.stewart.illo . This week we are celebrating Seetha and Elizabeth’s delightful picture book Ginger & Fred.

In the town of Furrington, dogs twirl with dogs, and cats whirl with cats. That’s the way it’s always been. In fact, it’s the law.

So what happens when dancefloor rebels Ginger the cat and Fred the Dalmatian turn up with a new style of dance?

Thursday was an enchantingly spectacular day.
It was a day to celebrate the finest books in children's literature (swipe to see shortlist pic 10) and their extremely talented creators as part of the @qldliteraryawards
🥳
Shortlisted authors Seetha Dodd for her middle grade book 'Myra in the Middle' and Zeno Sworder for his picture book 'Once I was a Giant' were in town for the event!!
🏅
After a lovely meet & catch up lunch at a scenic spot by the river, organised by the effervescent @jess.galatola with @bethanyloveridgeauthor @lbe.hackney @hayleehackenbergauthor (thanks for organising - loved chatting!)
... it was then time to show off Brisbane's best bookshops on the west-north side➡️ @quickbrownfoxbookshop @brightandearlybooks
@wherethewildthingsare_bookshop
... where I got a signed copy of Seetha's new rhyming picture book 'Ginger & Fred.'
🐱
It is actually so lovely to drive around with fellow creatives and get to know each other a little more. Loved the time spent with Seetha and Zeno!!
🚙
The Queensland literary award ceremony at the Brisbane Powerhouse was a buzz of excitement, where years of hard work, doubt, inspiration, disbelief, determination and perseverance paid off, award winners delivering humorous, fiery and passionate speeches.
❤️
And, I was so thrilled to meet Leesa Allinson, author of shortlisted children's book 'One Koala One Hundred Trees.' (swipe to pic 12).
🏆
Special congratulations to our Charlotte Barkla on winning a Queensland Writers Fellowship. @charlottebarklabooks (pic 9)
And once again huge congratulations to Seetha for shortlisting and Zeno for winning! It is an honour to know you all. Xxx

Still buzzing with the energy from meeting the incredible Seetha Dodd this morning!

What was meant to be a quick coffee turned into the most soulful conversations about life, stories and this crazy little kidlit world.

BIG congratulations again to Seetha and the wonderful team at @uqpbooks on ‘Myra in the Middle’ being shortlisted for the Queensland Literary Awards! So much to celebrate! 🥂✨🌸😃

A beautiful morning at @wherethewildthingsare_bookshop and a signed copy to take home!

🤗 Until we meet again @seethadodd_author 🫶🏼

What a delight to visit @therosereadbookshop in Sydney. I ran a little story time and invited children to help me paint a window to celebrate ‘The Bestest Brown’. Thank you so much to co-owner Misha and her family for having me. Hope to meet you next time Stephanie! It was so nice to get to hang out and meet local authors @jesshornauthor and @seethadodd_author
Thanks also to Jeanmarie and Alexa from Hachette for coming to hang out too. ❤️

It’s Labour Day long weekend in NSW, SA and the ACT. . . so let’s dance!

Attended the gorgeous launch of Seetha and Elizabeth’s wonderful picture book “Ginger & Fred” this morning. It was incredible to hear how the story was created and how the illustrations developed during the process. And how else should a book launch end? With everyone dancing, of course!
