Hanoi, Vietnam - Kiwicorn book launch!

Thanks to the New Zealand Embassy - Hanoi, Vietnam for hosting the Author/ Literacy Panel. I was so honored to be part of the panel, and to hear incredible Vietnamese business women and authors speak about children's books and literacy.

And, a big thank you to Trường mầm non Ako Kindergarten - Mễ Trì Hạ (Ako Kindergarten in Hanoi) for the amazing opportunity to create art, and read with the students ❤️ It was truly magical!

Look out for the Vietnamese copy of Kiwicorn - Bé Kiwi mũi kỳ lân - published by First News Trí Việt. 🌈

Now on shelves across Aotearoa… see if you can spot the brand new, sparkling ‘Kiwicorn’s Flurry of Feelings’

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

'Kiwicorn has oodles of emotions.
A fickle flurry of feelings.'

This delightful story of resilience can help children to understand that we all feel difficult feelings from time to time, but that recognising (and letting go of) those emotions can be the best feeling of them all.
