No Room for a Wombat is due to hit the shelves in January 2017! Woo Hoo!!! Can you tell I'm a little excited? It's been a long wait but this little wombat will finally be making his debut :) In other news, I'm looking forward to meeting students from Hillston Central School and St Joseph's of Hillston on Friday to celebrate Book Week. Should be heaps of fun :)
