On a bushwalk has been spied by young readers, and now in bookstores and libraries
Which is why Hannah Sommerville and I are back again with the latest board book in our Little World’s series. On a bushwalk shares the colours of the bush with curious readers, strollers and book lovers.
It’s out hope that this book complements early bushwalking adventures for families and educators, and a life long love of nature, just as Amid the Sand Dunes and In the Rockpool have.
In launch month I took the book and shared a rainbow of joy at Westernport Writes Festival for a special story time (shared fellow with author Toni D’Alia and her Frogs book), with support by Petersens Bookstore. Such lovely families joined us to cheer on the new book and share songs, games and stories. It was followed by a special session with the 4 year old groups at Waterfall Gully Preschool, and then time with the 3 year Butterfly Group at Rye Preschool to extend their outdoor play and book connection. We wiggled, wondered, warbled and wandered our way through a nature based storytime.
I feel sure bush kinder programs will adore this book too.
Hannah and I have been touring bookstores too and have loved spying On a Bushwalk in shop windows and displays in store.
To help families and educators enjoy our book event more, Hannah and I have made these activity sheets to continue the story fun.
