Book Launch

One of the great things about being a writer is finding lots of writerly friends - and being invited to parties when their newest book is launched. I love a book launch! And yesterday's launch of Emily Eases her Wheezes! was special for several reasons:

1. It's the newest book When I See Grandma illustrator, Leigh Hedstrom has illustrated (her 3rd book now).

---

2. It's a new book from my publisher, Wombat Books, and written by my friend, Hope FM presenter, Katrina Roe.

---

3. The location was divine - you couldn't beat the view - and so apt - a beach party (complete with beach towels to snuggle in and listen to the story) for a book about Emily the Elephant who takes to swimming to overcome her asthma and enjoys going to the beach with her friends!

---

4. it's not every day you get to publicize and sell your own book at someone else's launch - but here is my book alongside Katrina's two - representing Leigh's trifecta! Thank you, Katrina for your generosity - and I hope Emily is a swimming success!
