International Book Awards 2020
In exciting news my book “The Heart Of A Whale” is the WINNER in the International Book Awards 2020 for Children’s Picture Book Hardcopy Fiction. This edition is published by Philomel Book Penguin Random House US.
It is such an honour and always wonderful when your book gets to have another life in another country.
I am so happy that this book has been recognised and appreciated over the other side of the world.
This is a beautiful edition complete with dust jacket and is chosen by Amazon for their Prime Box.
GETTING READY FOR BOOK WEEK
It’s August and with this misty month comes two fun bookish events. The first is Love Your Bookshop Day , August 12 and Book Week, the last week in August.
Love Your Bookshop Day is going to be loads of fun for young and old. Local bookshops will be holding different events. There will be character dress ups, continuous reading, special author and illustrator appearances, fun activities and more. Please support your local bookshop and go along to these events. Imagine how it would be if we could only buy books on line. Those wonderful rainy Sunday’s spent huddled in the bookshop, touching, smelling and looking through books wouldn’t exist.
I will be visiting my local bookshop, Farrells, in Main Street Mornington to join into their Love Your Bookshop Day events.
Please come along if you are in the area and chat with me about all things books and bring the little ones for story reading and colouring in activities from 11-12. After me there’ll be lots more things to do.
