Was great to be @satealorg conference last weekend. Such a buzz from the organisers and delegates and enthusiasm from all stallholders to discuss and explain their products. We loved chatting about our books and downloadable resources. #bilingual#EAL#bilingualbooks#languages
Up close and cheeky with Ness from Hong Kong. Must be the best name ever when you're visiting Loch Ness Monster territory! And she went away with lots of Wee MacNessie stories in different languages. Our little language star!
School holidays on the horizon so activities for children are essential. Our Inverness-based activity books are fun and info-packed and can be combined with real outdoor trails. Perfect for all the family.

(And a reminder that penguins were also once known affectionately as ‘arsefeet’.)
Wonderful Chinese New Year celebrations last night in Inverness Town House with the Chinese Consul in attendance. Hard to believe it is four years since the launch in this very spot of Wee MacNessie and the Lion Dance. @WeeMacNessie@BilingMatters@SALTLANGS

Not every folk story comes from isolated glens or lonely lochs. One of the strangest tales I know comes from Leith, just a short hop from the centre of Edinburgh!
It's about a creature called the Shelleycoat, a rare beast that haunts waterways and bogs.
Really great to see experts within different fields and from different countries coming together to research and share knowledge on Lyme disease! What a surprise to see my book, Finding Joy, featuring in one of the presentations to 👏#northtick2023#lyme#lymediease#booklovers
This is the sort of book which, in the words of a customer this morning, ticks a lot of boxes. So much is wrapped up in this gorgeous cover - a true story as inspiring for adults as it is for children. Let your emotions and creativity loose with your own #storyflowerproject
