		<title>There&#8217;s more than one way to colour a cat&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Izzy the cat in Catmagic is &#8220;blotchy and splotchy from tail-tip to head.&#8221;The cats that kids draw after reading it are a riot of colour in dozens of different ways â€“ ripples, stripes, spots, dots, and even dashes, as first-grader Cade did so uniquely here.I think his multicoloured cat is quite beautiful!

		<title>Back from Mississippi&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What they say about &#8220;southern hospitality&#8221; turns out to be quite true! The teachers, librarians, professors of children&#8217;s literature, booksellers and organizers of the book festival I just spoke at in Mississippi were wonderfully hospitable.

		<title>I love leaves&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think everyone visiting my website should spend the day thinking about and looking at and sniffing leaves (especially poplar leaves, a wonderful smell) and write me a leaf poem.
Sometimes walking through leaves feels like being in a giant bowl of cornflakes.
