Please vote for PESKI KIDS, BEAR IN THE WOODS at @booktopiabooks FAB awards. This is such a great book and the Peski Kids themselves are such wonderfully inadequate, inappropriate people they deserve popular recognition and acclaim.

Very affirming sugar in Italy.

THE PESKI KIDS 4, NEAR EXTINCTION is on sale now.

Italy has so many amazing things.

In Rome people celebrate NYE by wearing red underpants.

Trains in Rome give very graphic advice on how not to exit the carriage

My publishers sent me a giant chocolate frog! They love me, they really love me! (also, I threatened to loot their office if I didn’t get a good Christmas present). But it’s the thought of chocolate that counts. Love you too @puffinbooksaus

Violet made a gingerbread house with a swimming pool... and a decapitated head floating on top.

Hello Brisbane! I’ll be touring in June 2020. If you’d like me to do an author presentation (or as I like to think of it - an inspiring extravaganza of literature and storytelling) at your school, please contact @bookedoutagency on 03 9824 0177.

Today’s cheese in my cheese advent calendar is Wensleydale and Gingerbread. I thought I was open minded but this one is giving me cognitive dissonance. It’s so dinner and pudding mixed!

Just got author copies of PESKI KIDS 4! So exciting! Looks awesome thanks to @ericasalcedoillustration and Tasha Dixon design. On sale January 7th.

When I came up with the concept for this book I never realised it would make such an awesome bookmark! #peskikids4 #ericasalcedo #brilliantillustrator
