In August 2021, my debut kid’s book ‘Weird School’ was published by Penguin Random. The very next day, Melbourne went into its 5th pandemic lockdown that lasted 77 days. Subsequently, I was unable to have a launch, do bookstore visits or author sessions in schools. It was dispiriting to not be able to connect with the readers, so I came up with a power point focused online session, which allowed me to virtually visit schools.
Fun fact: Did you know ‘Ferrett Legging Fridays’ is a thing at our place? (Hence the greyhound.) Great family fun.
