Please join me as I celebrate the launch of
my debut children's book, Pond Magic.
Penguin Australia. Pond Magic tells the hilarious story of an intolerant, self-obsessed 'tween', whose relationships with her family, her best friend and a French exchange student are made all the more difficult by a little magic and a lot of burping. ‘Lily Padd’s name is the least of her problems. Can she really be turning into a frog?’
My experience as an exchange student, a teacher and a lover of fairytales have each added their own to this light-hearted urban fantasy.
Launching Pond Magic will be award-winning children's author and illustrator (and all round lovely person) Narelle Oliver. www.narelleoliver.com
There will be activities, games and songs for all ages. Pond Magic’s main character, Lily Padd, herself may even make an appearance. So be sure to wear your favourite fairytale costume or (just to annoy Lily) come dressed in something French – and not just the kids!
Bring the whole family for a fun-packed afternoon at the Marks and Gardner Gallery set in 5 park-like acres with café, art gallery and children’s bookshop on the beautiful Tamborine Mountain (behind the Gold Coast).
Ooh, la la!
MC for the afternoon will be international award-winning children’s songwriter and entertainer (and my sister), Nadia Sunde, who will also perform on the day. www.nadiasunde.com
We have prizes for best costume (adults too), a free raffle and don’t forget to practice your best burp for the burping competition! Pardonnez-moi!
Prizes have been kindly donated by The Arts Centre Gold Coast, The Pampered Princess (salon for little girls), Homespun Music and me.
À bientôt!
Children are welcome to bring their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends.
See you there!

Hi Angela,
Have a wonderful day for your book launch and thank you for dropping by Matilda's blog (Paper Dolls), she was so excited, she'll be popping in here tomorrow to leave a message! When she sees the link to her site on your blog, she'll feel like a celebrity, she's already eagerly awaiting your next book :-)
Thanks, Charmaine. I'd better 'hop to it' and finish writing the next manuscript. Angela
