From a friend: *A reality TV ‘character’ says he’s gay* 9 year old: I THOUGHT he was gay, Dad. [Is contemplative for a moment] I think gay people have much more fun. Dad: Why’s that? 9 year old: Well, Michael has sparkly shoes. #WheresTheLie ✨👟✨

The irony of this whinge is that the books I want are all about teaching kids how to read and write and are to help my own writing.

Don’t get me wrong I really want all teachers and writers to get paid what they are worth (it’s one of those wicked problems), but I’m looking down the barrel of paying $45-$100 ea for at least 10 books I need professionally and it stings. Local libraries don’t hold them.

This is a genuine question. Why are #EducationBooks (ie technical books for #teachers) so blindingly expensive? Do the authors get paid more than trade published authors? It can’t be just print runs. A trade print run in Australia can be tiny. Fancy paper? #EducationPublishing

Sometimes, only a children's book will do. Christmas is one of those times whether it marks the end of a difficult or triumphant year (who had a triumphant year and what vitamins are you taking?). Here are 6 children's books published this year to buy for the adults you love.
