A Children's Book Author or Two

A couple of other mom friends and I ventured over to the Alliance Francaise for a squiz at the Leigh Hobbs exhibit, Mr Chicken: From Paris to St Kilda. I find his work humourous albeit somewhat dark, and enjoyed the portraits of Mr. Chicken and Old Tom. However, I wasn't too keen on his paintings of St Kilda., except for the one of the famous Luna Park entrance with Old Tom's mouth instead of the original.
I was encouraged not by Leigh Hobb's work but rather by a chance incident on the way. We bumped into another children's book author, Kim Kane, a mother, step-mother, and award winning author of Pip: The Story of Olive. Her new book Family Forest helps kids understand and feel comforable with thier blended families....what a lovely image, a family forest instead of a family tree! Moments like these, meeting other creative mothers helps me to believe that I can do it too!

Love and Peace. XX
