What a mixed emotion day. Like everyone to wake to the news of Dolly Parton’s passing. A writer of stories, a dreamer and creator of the Imagination Library. So this morning I thought WWDD (what would Dolly do)? So I poured myself a cup of ambition and put the imposter syndrome aside and celebrated book week the way it was intended!
With joy, connectedness and inclusivity I attended Irrawang Public School as their guest author. Kitty had to come along 😺 we went to the parade, shared our stories and met some awesome little friends. Kitty in all his glory was passed around to all of the kids and got heaps of paw 5s and pats. Some special kids even gave Kitty some friendship bracelets with their friendship building activities 🫶
Kitty and I then popped over to Lakeside Creative Minds Early Learning and Preschool to talk to the kids about friendships and kindness. Kitty lapped up even more attention.
Thank you so much to these incredible schools for embracing diversity and inclusivity. Kitty is all tucked in bed having absorbed all the magic the kids gave him. Thank you for having us!!
Remember your story is worth telling
