My ten year old has asked me to stop playing on the equipment because I’m embarrassing.

‘What book is on your bedside table?’ is a common interview question for authors. I never know how to answer because the question presupposes that there is only one.

Royal wedding is a good excuse to make a cake.

FRIDAY BARNES, DANGER AHEAD has been shortlisted for the YABBA awards! Thank you to everyone who voted and congratulations to all the other nominees. #kidsrockdemocracy

Dejected Penguin authors crossing.

There are many downsides to having a mother who is an author. One upside is you get the coolest swimming bag at the pool! (Note - my idea of ‘coolest’ may differ wildly to everyone else’s.)

Thanks to everyone who wrote in for a booklet. I’m putting them in the post now. If you missed out, there will be thousands distributed to bookshops throughout Australia during the coming months. So keep your eyes peeled for them.

Here’s what my new book THE PESKI KIDS is going to look like! My publisher has made up these sample booklets with the first four chapters, so people can have a sneak peak. It’s not on sale until August. But if you’d like one of these booklets, I’ll send them to the first 20 people to email me at raspratt@nannypiggins.com with their postal address. *CHECK THAT ITS OKAY WITH YOUR GROWN-UP FIRST*

Popped in for a quick handstand at the publisher. @penguinkidsaus @hollytoohey

Bravely wrestling Easter eggs from the zucchini plant.

I’ve just been trying to figure out how much touring I’ve done this year. According to my Instagram feed I’ve visited Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Richmond, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Wellington NZ and the Gold Coast. As well as sponsoring a Potato Race and writing the first book in a new series. And while my husband has been away on tour for 8 weeks. I guess that explains why I’ve been feeling tired.

I was reading NANNY PIGGINS AND THE RIVAL RINGMASTER to the girls tonight. It’s the first time I’ve read it in 8 years, and I was horrified to realise that I am now the same age as Mr Green.
