Ming Kee Monkey and I have had a ball this week, in two fabulous Hong Kong schools! On Monday we were meant to be visiting Japanese International School, but the weather was SOOOO cold that the Hong Kong Education Board closed all the primary schools – so I’ll be seeing them again later in February!
On Tuesday we visited German Swiss International School at their Wanchai campus, and the feisty kids of Grades 3 to 6 met my mischievous Monkey in three fun story readings! Many thanks to my wonderful old friend Megan Lindsay for hosting me and for preparing such a fun welcome board (above)!
And then today I spent a very happy morning at International College of Hong Kong, Hong Lok Yuen, when the big kids met Ming Kee Monkey and the little kids met Pin Yin Panda. We had a lot of fun! Thanks to Deputy Principal Brett MacKenzie for inviting me! (Photos to come!)

Ming Kee Monkey and I had SO much fun meeting the fabulous Grade 1s, 2s and 3s at ISF Academy in Pok Fu Lam today! After four big story reading sessions, where the kids learned all about the extraordinary wild life of Yunnan Province, the amazing true story of Xuanzang the 7th Century Buddhist explorer and the fun folk story of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King – all the while enjoying my new story about mischievous Ming Kee Monkey – the kids made a mad dash to look at the rest of my books! Big thanks to the lovely Ada Lee, primary librarian, and Karen Ip, head librarian, for inviting me in and hosting me to a wonderful day!

Ming Kee Monkey had her very first outing today at Kennedy School in Pok Fu Lam! It was the very first time that I read her story to anyone, anywhere, and it was such fun to introduce her to her new fans! Special thanks to Head of English Jeff Moore for being such a fabulous host, and to all the kids and teachers of Grades 3 to 6 for being such a great audience! And a big hello to the scrumptious kids of Grades 1 to 2 who met my cheeky Pin Yin Panda early in the morning! Photos to come!
