It has been such a treat to be back in schools again! I had a lovely day with grades 1 and 2 at Greenvale Primary School last week. I forgot how they all call me “ReneeTreml” (one word 😊). What fun!

I can’t wait for more visits in August with Story Arts Festival Ipswich and CBCA Book Week.

Nothing like a few in person school visits and a library/bookstore event to boost the motivation on an ongoing project!!!

Linework from OTTER-ly Ridiculous (book 6) published by Allen and Unwin and Capstone.
