Australia Remembers - Wartime Nurses
For over 100 years Australia’s military nurses have been risking their own lives to save the lives of others.

It's Time All Possums Went To Bed
I’m so excited to introduce my latest picture book which is gorgeously illustrated by Gavin Scott and published by the wonderful team at Affirm Press. This story was inspired many years ago by my youngest daughter’s avoiding bedtime antics and will be relatable to any parent or care giver … and their little possums.
Mummy says it’s time for bed, but Milly has other ideas! She’s a possum nibbling juicy grapes and pears. She’s a bilby digging outdoors, an echidna wiggling on the ground, an emu pecking at seeds, and a kangaroo bouncing around. But even animals have to go to bed sometime …
It’s Time All Possums Went to Bed is a playful and loving ode to bedtime routines, featuring upbeat rhyme from Jacqui Halpin and gorgeous art from Gavin Scott.
It’s Time All Possums Went To Bed will be on the shelves of all good bookstores from 29 March 2022, or you can purchase online > here.
