St Elizabeth’s Catholic Primary School - thank you for having me and brightening my day with curious questions, lots of interest in I’d Rather Eat Chocolate, discussions around sometimes food and healthy food, loads of crazy chickens, some pretty awesome health promotion posters and, beautifully decorated mini greenhouses perfect for spring veggie planting.

With Fathers Day approaching, this is the perfect time to have your child express themselves by creating a special card or writing a letter.

Scribbling leads to drawing and writing. It’s a fabulous creative outlet, great for fine motor skills, develops eye-hand coordination and scribbling is a precursor for writing.

How often do you encourage your child to scribble, draw or write?

Please take the time to listen to the end.

The duality of life brings its ups and downs. I’m really wanting to focus on the positives because I’ve been pretty devastated by what’s happening behind the scenes with one of my manuscripts accepted for publishing.

I’m determined to keep on keeping on and really want to thank everyone who supports me, interacts with my posts and gives me a bit of love. I’d really be struggling without you 💕

Broccoli is one of the veggies featured in I’d Rather Eat Chocolate and is also one of the seeds I provide to children to grow in their mini greenhouses they create at my author events.

But something is not quite right with my broccoli. I planted seeds not seedlings.

Any ideas to help me out?

Praising your child’s reading can have a positive impact on their desire and willingness to read.

Praise is best when it’s genuine and specific rather than ‘good boy/girl’ or ‘great reading’. What have they done well? Examples include:

📚 I love your expression
📚 wow! You sounded out that word so well
📚 you read x pages! Fantastic!!
📚I love how you grabbed a book to read when you were bored
📚well done for turning the pages carefully

I think you get the idea!

How do I you like to give your child feedback on their reading?

Bookshops are definitely a few of my favourite things!

Kate Orchard Bookshop was so supportive when I popped into her gorgeous shop in Adelaide.

She now stocks I’d Rather Eat Chocolate which we both agreed was a bit amusing considering her bookshop is sandwiched between chocolate shops.

Thank you Kate and it was lovely meeting you 😊

Book Week events are such a delight.

Thank you Ayesha Ayesha | Creative Play Experiences Perth + Online Store for having me as your guest author at your beautiful play session.

We had:
☀️perfect weather
🥰the cutest little learners
🥦lots of interest in veggies

And today I’m heading off to Bentley to inspire 60 Yr1-2 children to fall in love with reading and eat up their veggies.

I love Book Week(s) but I wonder if it has started to become a bit focused on the costumes rather than the stories?

Any thoughts?
