Hey - how funny! I just posted a comment on your blog right now! Great to hear from you Aki - yeah, let's hope there are heaps more Billie books to come. I wish you could be here for the launch - it looks like it's going to be lots of fun! Doesn't the website look great? Sally
Thanks Aki - I will let you know how it goes and maybe post some photos on my blog. Have you seen the stampers? I have hundreds to give away. My six year old LOVES them!
hello! we've got our billie b's in the bookshop, looking all funky in their dumpbin. i have tried out the stamp - super cool. i also have sold three just this afternoon. congratulations!
Hi Kate - that's great to hear! Where's your bookstore? Maybe I can come in and sign some? I just checked out your blog - it looks great. I will link it to mine so I can follow your posts. Thanks for dropping by! Sally
Can't make it to the launch boo hoo but definitely will be getting you to sign some copies for me when I'm in town in May. How about a catch up for a chin wag?
Billy B Brown is my absolutely most favorite books in the whole wide world. I have just come back from the book shop where i got the latest The Birthday Mix Up, I have the whole collection.
I wish I could come to Melbourne to visit you. Maybe one day you will come my way Southern Gold Coast and I can have a photo of us together. It would be the best show and tell ever!!!
Hi Sophie, Thanks so much for your lovely comment! You already have The Birthday Mix-Up! Wow, that was quick! And exciting that you have the whole collection. It would be lovely to meet you, too. I am coming to QLD for the Brisbane Writers Festival later this year. Perhaps that could be possible for you to come to that? If you ask your parents to check this blog every now and then I will post the details when I have them. Best wishes, Sally
