And…A Night With Our Stars

Another favourite annual CBCA (WA) event: A Night With Our Stars is a fast and furious evening of super-short presentations from WA’s children’s book illustrators and authors published in 2017.

And for the FIRST TIME SINCE 2011….I’m presenting!!! So there you go, people. Never give in.

Whee! I’m so excited. You can get tickets and more information here.
