It’s the book birthday for Hip Hip Hooray and to celebrate we are having a little giveaway!! To see the whole video and hear the smashing song @winterparkmusic made with the kids (and not upside down video. Oh dear my tech skills@are lacking 😂) please visit @taniamccartney - and to enter, comment here, or on her page and follow both of us! Further details below 💓💓💓 Repost @taniamccartney ・・・ Hey, kids! It’s somebody’s birthday … Hip Hip Hooray is one year old this month! Is it your birthday soon? Jess and I hear that so many kids aren’t able to celebrate their birthdays with lots of family and friends right now, and this makes us very sad. So we would like to help you celebrate your birthday! . To make your birthday special, we are giving away not one but TWO copies of Hip Hip Hooray. One will be sent from my house in Canberra and one will be sent from Jess’s house in Melbourne. And we might even put some lovely treats inside! . If you would like to win, ask a grown-up to enter for you. To enter, they should be following both Jess (@jessesmess) and myself, then leave a comment below, telling us what kind of cake you’d like for your birthday. They can enter as many times as they like, but must tag one friend each time. . I will draw two random winners on Saturday 11 April at 5pm. Winners will be tagged and messaged, and will have 48 hours to respond before another winner is drawn. Books can only be sent to an Australian address. Big thanks to our publisher @windyhollow . Good luck – and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! . This giveaway is not associated with the good peeps at Instagram. . #HipHipHooray #birthdays #kidsbooks #picturebooks #animals #animalbooks #kidsbookstagram #parties #kidsparties

Some pins I designed for the lovely @louielolayarns - beautiful yarn dyeing with the cutest mascots I’ve ever seen - excuse the nails, another 5 mins of kid entertainment 😂❤️ #pingame #knitting #louieandlola

Oh my gosh, @squidgyandwonky just put a bird in my hand (via the mail!) and it’s worth a lot more than 2 in the bush - it’s priceless! ThNk you Jess ❤️❤️❤️

A big thank you for the lovely review 💓❤️💓 #Repost @kids.books.we.love ・・・ Anzac Girl: The War Diaries of Alice Ros “The True Story of the young nurse who would one day become the most decorated woman in Australia.” “It was 1914 when Sister Alice Ross-King left Australia for the war. Nursing was her passion - all she had ever wanted to do.” “But Alice couldn’t have imagined what she would see. She served four long years and was brave, humble and endlessly compassionate.” * Oh my golly goshness what a book, it totally took me on a journey....you ever have that feeling that nothing matters around you - you can have the tv on, a fan, hear dogs barking, but they don’t register when your fully emersed in a darn good book. Awesome, ageless, a real treasure! Miss 7 might take a bit of this book in, give her another year and many more questions will flow from reading Anzac Girl. Every Aussie teacher, school, local library should have a copy!!! Love the end pages and the use of different fonts and the blended photos and collages - just BRILLIANT- such a worthy read!!! •Sister Alice Ross-King’s diaries are available on the Australian War Memorial’s website. * Love our Hard Back copy from @allenandunwin thank you so much. ISBN 978-1-76063-701-9 RRP$24.99 Aus Text by Kate Simpson - great grand daughter of Alice Ross-King. Illustrations by award-winner Jess Racklyeft. There is 2 pages of Author’s Note and Illustrator. #anzac #anzacgirl #wardiaries #alicerossking #truestory #anzacday #australia #kidsbookswelove #bookoftheday #bookpost #aussiebookswelove #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #greatbook #teachers #teachersofinstagram #school #allenandunwin #book
