Children’s Book Radio Interview
A couple of months ago I got an email to say that Ark in the Park had been reviewed on the podcast Children’s Book RadioEpisode Guide. I think it’s quite new, but it’s a great idea with some very interesting reviews, so naturally I was very happy to agree to an interview about the book and its writing. Sabrina is delightful – and it was also fun to think about the magic of the medium: she was in Los Angeles, I was at home in Australia – and now the tape of our phone call is on the internet. Magic!

Your book sounds fascinating. It's funny how similar stories sometimes appear around the world at much the same time (well, close to the same time... you were about 7 when I started writing Nim!) Good luck with it; I'll look forward to reading it as a book one day.
