Last week, we were privileged to hear two passionate speakers in Professor Robyn Ewing who launched Incredibilia (Little Hare, 2016), Faculty of Education building, and the ingenious artist Gaye Chapman who illustrated my text.
Both talked to the importance of nurturing imagination
being creative- and what I loved – there was an invitation to adults as well as children to do so. The audience of some 50 people included my three grandkids who inspired the text, my publisher Margrete Lamond and her staff in designer and production who brought the text to fruition and devotees of children’s literature, as well as the ever reliable Paul Macdonald (The Children’s Bookshop)and plenty of books! A happy night but where was Susanne Gervay as not one photograph was taken!
