Han, Otto and I went to a children’s book launch yesterday morning at the black cat in Paddington.  The lovely book ‘The Flying Orchestra’ is a first time novel written and illustrated by Clare Mcfadden who’s father taught me woodwork at school, such a small world.

The book is lovely and the illustrations include so many spots around Brisbane that I hope Otto will recognise and love as he grows older.  Right now we have put the book away until he is at the stage of not ripping the pages, we are pretty much a cardboard book household at the moment after a few sad mishaps with some treasured books.

Clare McFadden did a lovely reading complete with music to accompany the pages and Otto was enthralled with both the music and book which was lovely to see.

If you want to see and hear her reading the book with accompanying music, just follow this link.

Hope you all had a great weekend.
