If you live in the Waikato and you don’t already know about
this great organisation, it’s worth checking out their web page,
then joining. Its purpose is to “work in the community to generate a love of
literature and reading amongst children”. What could be better than that?
The association organises regular seminars and other
opportunities to meet children’s writers and illustrators, and hosts the annual
Waikato Kids’ Lit Quiz and an annual NZ Post Children’s Book Award review
night.
I am giving a talk at the AGM about my work, alongside the
talented Yvonne Milroy (Jimothy) and
Tamara James (The World is Your Oyster). It
should be a fun night, and I am looking forward to hearing more about their
work. See you there.
