Well that was fun…three fabulous days with the kids of Shanghai American School Puxi! What with story readings and whistlestop workshops and lunches with the Library Experts and chats with aspiring authors, it was full on! Thanks to all the staff and especially Rosemary Kinyanjui for all the excellent preparation and support!
Happy Birthday Buddha!
May 10, 2011 at 3:25 am | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a commentDid you know that it’s Buddha’s Birthday today! In many Asian countries today it’s a public holiday in his honour, with processions and religious ceremonies and feasting! And if you’re living in Hong Kong, there’s even a Bun Festival on Cheung Chau Island with local kids running up bamboo towers studded with buns, to see who gets to the top first! Have a great day!
Are you a budding author? Do you want to publish a book?

Wow – what a fun couple of days! Rhonda Rabbit and I bounced up to Shanghai last week for a fabulous two day visit to Shanghai American School, Pudong campus, and had a whole lot of fun with hordes of rampant rabbits, aka very bright bunnies, finding out all about the mighty Emperor Qin Shi Huang and his fiendishly clever ways (not to mention his nasty temper and his even nastier pet!) A big THANK YOU to the lovely librarian Barbara Boyer, dedicated staff and clever kids!
Thank you CDNIS for a very Hoppy Day!
