5 Must Read Books for Positive Parenting

November 28, 2018

Top 5 Positive Parenting Books I recently put together a list of parenting books that I love for a few friends with new babies and one who is expecting and thought I’d share the list here.

AUSTRALIAN PICTURE BOOKS- WHY LOCALISED LITERATURE IS IMPORTANT

January 25, 2018

Australian Picture Books I post a lot of Australian literature on my Instagram feed as naturally, living in Australia, I have access to so many amazing Aussie authors. However, the other reason I choose to share Australian picture books with my daughter and the students in my class is that children should be regularly exposed to literature that is culturally specific to help them better identify with the themes, characters and settings presented in the stories. I was recently discussing the need to grow my Canadian picture book library …
