In Awakening Curiosity: writing science for children I discuss 4 science education research-based principles that I apply to my writing and 2 tips for writers of non-fiction from my publishing experience.

Whitby Library was buzzing on Thursday as we set about making these fun pop-up cards. Such great concentration by kids (and parents). In an hour and a half, many managed to make both the kiwi and the piwakawaka, while a few worked away on the one card, adding to and embellish their work. Lots of amazing, creative ideas with the use of colour, words, images. Thanks for having me Whitby Library. This was part of Imagine This! go to Porirua Library Children's Chat to see more of what was on during the Imagine This! festival. If you missed out on the pop-up card session you can find the instructions on my blog.
