It has been an incredible couple of weeks visiting libraries all over the lower North Island. Just know New Zealand, that you have some very clever kiddos. I loved all the answers I got about animals in winter ❄️. Until next time.

Some highlights of today's fun school holiday events:
* Animals in Winter: Fun Science with Author Erin Willson! 10.30-11.30 at Tawa Library
* Animals in Winter: Fun Science with Author Erin Willson! 2-3pm at Karori Library
* Suzy Cato comes to Miramar! 3-4pm at Miramar Library

Our socials have been quiet, life has been busy! 🦋 But I wanted to share this photo a friend just texted me from the Hastings library. Seeing my book in libraries is the best reward ever.

Monarchs of Aotearoa has actually been flying off the shelves again and I'm not sure we are going to print more. So if you want your own copy of our NZ made and printed book, please head to the website and get one! Alternatively, check it out at your local library ❤️🦋💖

Swim bags have been flying out the door this week. I'm happy to say our kids bags have taken a beating this year (and also sub as a ditty bag for camp) and are still going strong. I'm going to give away a free personalised orange swim bag at the end of the month. Just comment below with where your kids will be swimming this summer and you are in the draw. Open to NZ only you can also purchase one here ---------------------->
