There is a long list of things I love about living in Australia. For those of us on the regular scanning system for the rest of our days, (two days worth each time for me) bulk billing is hitting high on that list right now. I don’t take it for granted and am so very grateful. #six monthly scans. #newme #newlife #greatcountry #grateful

This is a shout out to all our awesome teacher librarians. I did my last in-school author visit for the year this week and on behalf of all of us writerly, draw-y peeps I thank you for the bottom of my heart. For the endless supply of water bottles, delicious morning teas, cups of tea, yummy lunches from the school canteen. For anticipating our every need. For the extraordinary visiting author displays and prep work. For claiming a car space for us! For thinking to book us and help with igniting a love of reading. For thinking of your students and what would impact their journeys. For your indefatigable efforts in making quality difference in student lives. For your spectacular creativity in your library spaces. For becoming our friends! You’ve made my year. Every thing you do is noticed, and we are grateful. We love you! And thank you to the speakers agencies for handling our bookings! You rock!🙏 @librarieschangelives @asla.org.au @qldsla @slansw.official @idtl_network @mantleconference @lamont_authors @bookedoutagency @cktspeakersagency @speakers.ink #librarianstyle #kids #books #author #fun

@heyitsjulesfaber @mo_johno @larrikinhouse So looking forward to giving this beauty a spin on Saturday and taking it into schools next year!

@heyitsjulesfaber @mo_johno @larrikinhouse So looking forward to giving this beauty a spin on Saturday and taking it into schools next year!

I have spent the last five days working in an insane heat wave out west for the best program going, SWF’s Russ the Story Bus. Wholly sponsored, this program brings authors into schools for author talks and then EVERY student gets to go on the bus to pick a free book that they get to keep! If it’s one of mine, they have it signed by me. If it’s one of from my wonderful children’s lit community, I sign a book mark for them. It was awesome to see books by all my friends on the bus! Even better when they brought them to the signing queue and I got to talk you all up! Schools, APPLY! It is one of the most valuable programs and runs so smoothly. Just to give you an idea of the powerful presence of the bus, I chatted with more than. 1,100 students, signed more than 1,100 book marks and signed a whopping 817 books of my own. There are now more than 1,100 books in homes of kids who need them. Isn’t that sensational! I also got to play lunch lady, presented in front of the sponsors ( no pressure, LouLou) was gifted a ring by a beautiful student and made lots of new friends. Renee, Rachel from @gleebooks_kids , @serenageddes_lifeasacreative , Beaver the bus driver and Jesse the program manager, cannot thank you enough for looking after me so well and giving me a tremendous week despite the fact that we all melted and got heat stroke! Best student question of the week: Do you know the cricket score! You know you’re killing it when you get a question like that🤣🤣 @berbay_books I did you proud! @larrikinhouse we rock! @sydwritersfest you are legends. #kids #author #love #lovemyjob #read #books #fun #investinourkids

I’m in a competition against myself. I want to get to 1000 plays and keep my 100% win streak. Easily two thirds of a year to go. Doubt I’ll make it! #word #brainhealth #self #comp

I’m getting to the tail end of school visits. Three more to go and a week on Russ the School Bus for SWF and I’m done. I cannot thank the wonderful librarians enough who have hosted me this year. We love you and are so grateful. The peeps at @abbotsleigh today really excelled in their jobs. What a fabulous visit. You shine! And I love that it took a girls’ school towards the end to finally destroy my whoopee cushion! @larrikinhouse @berbay_books #author #love #pranks #fun #kids

Hump day of QLD Gold Coast launch week for Prank Wars and we’ve sold out of books and have to order in more. It’s been so much fun thus far and I cannot thank the indefatigable @somersetstoryfest team for putting the fabulous tour together and running it so well. I wish my partners in crime @mo_johno and @heyitsjulesfaber were here to present with me. I’ve been wrapped in sticky string, pranked by the best and am having an absolute ball. @larrikinhouse doing my bit for the team! @cbcacentralcoast @cbcaustralia @mantleconference @librarieschangelives @weareteachers @slavconnects @qldsla #lovemyjob #kidsrock #kids #books #happiness y

It was so lovely to be launching something in my favorite store on LYBSD! @gleebooks_kids a million thanks for hosting us so well and for our intros, Rach! I’m still laughing about Mo being born in an ice cream van in Canada! The beautiful @mo_johno had the kids enthralled with her reading and pin the tail on ziggy and so much more. She deserves a trophy for her prank bag sourcing and merch printing! Love, love, love! @heyitsjulesfaber, drawing shape-shifting kids based on our kids in the audience was truly inspired! To all those delightful children who shared their clever ideas, participated in hilarious pranks, drew shapeshifts I wish I had thought of and bought books in support of our book stores, a massive thank you. The world would truly be a miserable place without our gorgeous booksellers and book stores. Lastly, hats off to @larrikinhouse for bringing our new series into the world. The laughter that bubbles out of our audiences when they engage with a Larrikin title is, as AMEX would say, PRICELESS. @gleebooks_kids @larrikinhouse @mo_johno @heyitsjulesfaber @cbcacentralcoast @cbcansw @slavconnects @mantleconference @librarieschangelives #prankwarsgameon #kids #fun #prank #kidsbooks #authorlife #happy

I have clocked up miles. Big miles. Book week season session 62 completed with 16 to go, but when you do a 4 hour round trip and land in a place like this, it’s gold. I felt like I was in a chalet in the mountains. Beautiful TL that looked after me so incredibly well. Clever ideas, questions and comments from lovely students. I didn’t want to leave. # bookweekterm2024 #kids #authorlife
