So excited to have Wally part of every room at the wonderful Change Overnight in Launceston. Every night’s stay gives back to the world through one of eight causes. https://t.co/AZco1fQmfK #abetternightssleep #whyworrywally #change #picturebook #wellbeing #kidsauthor #launceston

"Wally oh Wally, it will all be OK. Your positive thoughts can take worries away." Love to get out to more schools with my Wally Wellbeing incursion to help kids manage worries, especially after #lockdownmelbourne. https://t.co/ZzOhfdBj0U
