sheep food . . . and more!


question: What food do you have at a launch which involves sheep?
answer: Laaamb-ingtons, of course!




Check out some pictures of the recent Victorian launch/celebration of my book Shirl and the Wollomby Show, illustrated stunningly by Kat Chadwick. The event was held at Readings, Carlton to coincide with the Royal Melbourne Show and was launched by Ann James, illustrator and co-director of Books Illustrated.

  2. It was fun, Katrina! And I was surprised and pleased at the number of children who came up to knit. The naughty lambs were in their element!

  4. Thanks Lorraine. It was so special in so many ways.A book carries so much more than a story, doesn't it?

  5. I've just been to Tasmania where I saw LOTS of sheep, but sadly, none were as flamboyant as Shirl and the Girls! Love the lambingtons, too.

  6. Thanks Book Chook! You're right; Shirl and the Girls are hard to beat for flamboyancy!
