The "child whisperer"

Apr 8, 2017 | General

This morning, I had some wonderful time in my favourite cafe, Saint James Cafe in Malvern, editing my new book that is due out later this year.

When I walked in, I was greeted by my nephews. They were there with their parents and some friends of the family.

Over my first cup of chai, the kids asked me what I was working on. I told them it was my new story, and they wanted me to read it.

My sister-in-law snapped this photo:

The caption she put on it was “Aunty Missie, the child whisperer”!

The kids were loving the story and can’t wait for me to read more, though they may have to wait until the book is finished.
