In today's boring suburban mom news: on a zoom conference which is amazing. One tiny problem: a few incredible speakers are from Australia. AND I JUST WANT TO INTERRUPT AND SAY BLUEY!!!!!!!!! So hard to not make a @OfficialBlueyTV reference.

@yesimhotinthis @PenguinTeen She reallllly loves your books even if she's a bit young. But it's such a great way to talk about religious diversity (inter and intra) and encourage her love of illustrating. So pls keep writing forever
