A fun story reading session at Commercial Press Kiddyland!

What a great time I had on Saturday meeting some scrumptious kiddies and their mums and dads at Kiddyland at Causeway Bay! The kids met all my “babies” ie my growing family of stuffed toys, then settled down to a funny story time session, when I read them Rodney Ram’s shaggy tale with lots of fun thrown in. Thank you as ever to my friend Christa Tam of Blooming Club at Commercial Press for organising the event!

A Woolly and Wonderful day at The Harbour School!

A big helloooo to my new friends (and some old ones) at The Harbour School in Kennedy Town! I had a fabulous time today introducing my Chinese Calendar Tales to the kids! Rodney Ram had a good old frolic with the Grade 1 to Grade 3 kids, then Chester Choi raised a few screams and giggles with the Kindy and Pre-Kindy classes. And to top it all off, the Grade 4s to Grade 8s met my mysterious Dark Horse and learned some fabulous history about Han Wudi and the Silk Road. Huge thanks to lovely librarian Goldie Wong who hosted me today (and created the fabulous poster above), and to Deputy Principal Christine Greenberg and Principal Jadis Blurton for inviting me.

A fun story reading for TEACHERS at ESF Educational Services!

Yesterday evening I read my new story The Tale of Rodney Ram to more than 20 lovely teachers at ESF Educational Services in Quarry Bay at the end of my workshop about How to Create Bookworms in the Digital Age! They all sat on the floor, and were very good at answering all my questions, and even gave fabulous names beginning with “Sh” to all the sheep, though I did have to remind a few teachers to remember to put their hands up and not to call out :)! Big thanks to Emma Dorrell, Education Manager, who invited me to speak, and to the participants for being such good sports!

Sai Kung was SUPER!

A big thank you to lovely store owner Ursula Huber for hosting me on Saturday morning! It was great to meet the gorgeous kiddies of Sai Kung and we had a lot of fun with my new Chinese zodiac character Rodney Ram to celebrate the coming Chinese New Year and Year of the Ram! We even had time to throw in a quick reading of my very first book, A Dirty Story!
