I'm pleased to report that my blog has now reached over $3,000,000 reads. I want to thank you my readers for your support. Some of you have been reading the blog since 2007! My first post below features my first grandchild (and his Dad). Jake is now aged 22 and is now doing his PhD!
Some interesting facts:
My blog has readers from all continents (not sure about Antarctica!). Posts average 14,000 readers over time, but in 2024 this is closer to 30,000 to 40,000 readers each post. This has come from 507 posts!

As we near Children's Book Week in Australia on the 16th to the 23rd September, I thought it was a great time to acknowledge the wonderful Children's Literature that is produced every year in Australia and around the world.
