‘I love that libraries embrace their authors and invite them to visit their libraries and in so doing young fledgling writers may be born. I love that parents and children have a place to go and spend time together not only with each other but with other families in the area, building a community and a sense of belonging.’

The 10-year performer is currently in the process of sending out a television pilot to stations in Perth. The show is based on her book, Hooray for Goggles.
