It's #NatureBookWeek in Australia. My fave kind of book, they are beautiful, informative, entertaining and inspiring. People can't care about what they haven't experienced first-hand - nature books are the gateway to forming future conservationists. 💚Here are some I wrote.

Two baby Ruru hanging out above the neighbour’s compost bin. 🪱🪳🕷️🦗🐜 I bet this is a great spot for snacks but I hope they can fly up to a safer place soon. 🐈‍⬛ Both parents are perched in the tree above keeping watch. 👀🦉

LOOK what arrived today! It’s ’Year of the Meatball’ the hilarious and heartwarming middle grade novel by writing pal Angela Calabrese. I loved Joey and Bobbi from the first time I met them - so wonderful to see them in print!
