I think picture books are a great way to introduce, challenge and kindle interest in all kinds of subjects like history, emotions and cultures. I’m sure Sally’s book will do just that! <br /><br />Well done.<br /><br />Robert VescioRobert Vesciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02180374359688053661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695783626943417883.post-9438025660342691112012-03-08T03:03:26.668-08:002012-03-08T03:03:26.668-08:00I love your first question, Sally.

A rally of Sallys? <br /><br />I rather like 'rally' I think. <br /><br />Lovely interview and one I enjoyed very much. I LOVE your unique approach Sally O. That first question was fabulous and made me wonder what I'd not want to forget about Australia. <br /><br />Too many things to answer here - but just a hint? <br /><br />Family & friends are a given, and I'm with Sally M all the way on the freedom we enjoy here, so I'll just focus on the first sensory things that came to mind. <br /><br /> I'm much more of a coast person than a bush person, so naturally our amazing beaches and coastlines that I feel are unsurpassed anywhere. But that said, I would miss the distinct smell of the Aussie bush. <br /><br />And, being a NSWelshwoman, and living about 2 hours north of Sydney, I'd miss the sight of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House sparkling on the harbour that ALWAYS catches my breath every time we drive into the city. I've experienced that sight hundreds of times yet it never fails to knock me out every time. <br /><br />Gosh I could go on and that's rather unfair!!<br /><br />Thank you both for another lovely visit!Kaz Delaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11185938209953975157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695783626943417883.post-17733022617273878522012-03-06T17:59:15.456-08:002012-03-06T17:59:15.456-08:00Hi Sally O and Sally M,

The words of the latest one describe normal family life, but the aim is for the illustrator to show the universality of family love by creating surprising characters. I'd be delighted to be surprised - but I do see them as Hell's Angels,or possibly aliens or in a fantasy world. It may never be published and illustrated at all, but secretly, I'm greedy and I'd love to see different interpretations.Peter Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02653515054036432820noreply@blogger.com
