The Queen is coming to tea indeed and there is so much to prepare, who would of thought that Ellie knew a baker in Paris, a tea grower in China and a Ballerina in New York to help make her afternoon tea grand.
The Queen is Coming to Tea
ADHD and Me
"My name is Malory, I'm 8 years old and I have ADHA. ADHD is short for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It can mean different things for different kids. My mom says that it's part of what makes me special. She says because of it, I am unique. Being unique means that you are one of a kind. That doesn't mean I'm alone though"
Throwback Thursday – My Bible Story Picture Book
It wasn't until I been until I have been going through these books that I truly realised just how much my aunt supported my love of reading and literacy. From such a young age I was blessed by all the adults around me to be gifted so many books.
6 Minute Stories for 6 Year Olds

Lest We Forget
"We stand with out comrades, in salute to the fallen"

What delightful fun Lou and her friends have. Most of the time Lou is very brave and will try all sort of new fun things, but sometimes Lou is unsure.
Thea Stilton Graphic Novel #7: A Song For Thea
I loved this Thea Stilton Graphic novel and thought it gave a beautifully strong message to young girls and boys to believe in themselves, and that they can do anything you put your mind to!
Braille – On the Move
I see this book as a thing of beauty. You're probably asking why? Or maybe you see the beauty in it too. I see beauty in inclusiveness, in access for all, in all society having access to books. I love that the book is about cars, tractors, planes and helicopters just as books for seeing children would be.
I’m Australian Too
In writing this book, Mem Fox called her book a "Rhythmic, loving, friendly Australian book, about all the people who have come here to make Australia the lovely place it is." I believe Mem has achieved this as she has captured the Australian spirit and more.
The Way Home in the Night
Lights in doorways, bikes leaning on buildings, baby rabbit, the moon and balloons all adorned the pages at some point in the book. They tell me a story of parties, a street at night, bed time and people waiting for someone to come home. I could go on for some time about how much I enjoyed the illustrations and the impact they had on me, but overall, they were just delightful.
