A very special Zoom Launch today of Splash, Slither, Squark
the Society of Women Writers NSW 95th anniversary anthology of nature writing for children.
‘Curiouser and curiouser‘ it seems to me is the gift we need to give our children and grandchildren.
Curiosity leads to awe and wonder.
When one has a sense of awe and wonder about nature, about a tree, a river, about flora and fauna one will care for them.
Anything that creates this in the heart of a child has a chance of being seen as precious. This new book ‘Splash,Slither, Squark, which will go to school libraries will be a step towards this value.
Sales of this book will help support RSPCA National Bushfire Appeal and Wombat Care Bundanoon. Many thanks to co-editors Michele Bomford and Julie Thorndyke .
I am proud to have a poem, Platypus spotting is fun and a short story about wonder when lost in the bush.
So proud the illustration of the platypus on the opposite page to my poem is by my grandson Thomas with 2 further illustrations by grandchildren Edison chosen and the youngest illustrator Miss Eleanor .
