Good News!

Hi Sea Fans

Things have been going great guns here in America.  I've got one more stop in California and that's to see the illustrator (the lady who draws the pictures) of my books. Yippee!  I get to see what she gets up to in the day and she said that she might take me to one or two aquariums in her neighbourhood.

Keli - the person behind the amazing pictures in my books!

I'm still trying to get the photos off my USB of my visit to the Marine Science Institute, as soon as I manage that, I'll post them for you to see.  I got to help out at Tech Trek (a week-long, residential, summer, science program where girls, going into 8th grade stay in a UCSB dorm and learn about science), visited REEF Aquarium with a special friend and got to read a super special book...but more about that next time : )

I heard some great news ...a blogger did a survey in May asking people what their favourite ocean-themed children's book is and my first book, "Abby's Aquarium Adventures", was listed!!!  Facebook and Twitter was used to find out what people think...how clever!

My first book is now also available as an app!!!  Check out iTunes or go to this web page:

Keep in touch Sea Fans (abby@telkomsa.net) and let me know what you like and don't like about the sea, maybe you'll see your comments/poem/story posted here!

Chat soon.
Cheers!
Abby
