Welcome, Haere Mai and Hola!

There's nothing quite like spending time with a child on your knee enjoying a book, or two or three!

Having written stories when my own daughters were little, I now have three lively mokopuna who have re-inspired my writing, plus I now have more time to write!

With thanks to āku tamāhine (my daughters) for their guidance and knowledge of te reo Māori, arohanui.

¡Y gracias a Tesy en Xátiva, España por su orientación y habilidades de traducción!
