Telling Tales

I thought you might like to see what I get up to during the day. Last week I had a gorgeous pre-school class come to the bookshop for a story. I work at a wonderful indie store called Fullers, in Hobart - filled with young and old, hipsters and hold alls, creatives and the cantankerous, yup, we serve them all and I love it! I'm in charge of the children's section so get to do fun things like tell stories to the little people and dream up fun events to keep our young folk in love with reading (my proudest moment getting Oliver Jeffers down for the day...)
Here I am with our little mascot Fergal, complete with special eyewear (by the wonderfully talented Cat Rabbit no less), telling the story of The Magic Hat by Mem Fox. The story celebrates 10 years this year by the way and is so wonderfully illustrated by Tricia Tusa, it's a big favourite.
So there you go, a little glimpse into one of the things I do during the week!
