Tomorrow I will read my Pre school darlings The Witch's Children and the Queen in celebration of International Women's Day. If it hooks them in, I'll try and get them talking about the women they know, probably just their Mums and Grandmas, and why they are proud of them. Even that might be to abstract for some of them, or they might just be to

Have I mentioned recently how much I admire you? You rock.

[oothoona]

I have to be candid and confess how surprised and delighted I was to read you comment - thank you.

*hugs*

Every little bit counts. You are actually out there doing it; I mostly just talk about it.

Go, the Jesuit tactic!

[oothoona]

Aye!

Is that the one where the littlist child turns the Queen's soldiers into jam tarts and the witch has to fix everything at the end?

[oothoona]

The very one :) On a totally different note, I finally read Ship of Magic the other day, and found it as compelling and addictive as i anticipated. Erm... don't have the second one do you?

I loved that picture book. Isabel and I read it in a bookshop when we shopping for Sammi's birthday present a few years ago. I can't remember if we actually bought it or not.

I hope the reading went well. It is awesome that you're doing stuff like that.

I'm afraid I don't have the second book. You could probably find it at a library though. I think it's called The Mad Ship. Yay Paragon.

Please tell me the story miss!

*hugs* I'll give you a teaser once the book is no longer at pre-school... and show you the real thing when i see you next.

knowing that you have had input in shaping their minds, I may even grow to like some children. The Tuggeranong wastelands should consider it self lucky that you are there...
