@SunBookshop @matchtrick I can't wait to celebrate with you all! 🌞🕵️‍♀️🐶🌞

[✏️Anna Battese✏️ @bookandbea]

@littleelfman Um, obviously yes please.

[✏️Anna Battese✏️ @bookandbea]

@giselaervinward @ScholasticAUS Agree!!

[Gisela Ervin-Ward @giselaervinward]

So on #TransDayOfVisibility I’m asking @ScholasticAUS to reprint George by Alex Gino in Australia, please. We shouldn’t need to get the bookshop to have to order copies from the US in order to get one of the rare Middle Grade books that centres a trans child’s experience

@DaveyDogs "holding the pen" and "power of work". As in "So, who's holding the pen? Can you hold the pen? Everyone, Anna's holding the pen and doing a POWER of work."

I just asked my dog if she could do this dance move and then kept doing it until she left the room in embarrassment and maybe it's time I went out and sought some company?

@altait I've been watching Kevin Bacon sing to his goats. A sentence I never would have imagined writing in any other year.

@slamup We're decorating our house but not giving out lollies which...I have now realised is the ultimate Trick.
