One of your stories that I loved. I hadn’t clocked the picture book either.

Thanks Cathy, yes the picture book kind of just gained it's own momentum and took on a life of it's own in the school sector. Much peace.

Thank you, yes on the night we launched BILA YARRUDANGGALANGDHURAY in Gundagai, we asked the locals "What else can we do?"

The response was: "We need to get this into classrooms."

I loved this book. So cool to know this is the anniversary. I listened on audio. The narration was fantastic and I love that I now have so many Wiradjuri words bumping around in my head. I get a little thrill every time I see one on a page somewhere and I know how to pronounce it! Thank you!

I love that you can recognise some language words on the page now, that's wonderful and makes my heart sing. Have an amazing day your end. XX
