From time to time we have authors who visit the school to talk about their work and read their books to the students.  We also have teachers in school who move out of their regular roles and share some of their favorite stories.

March 1st - 3rd - 2005, Elizabeth Honey

Elizabeth Honey visited school in March 2005, spending time with the elementary students, reading and talking about her books.

Her introductory biography says that she "was a weedy child who always seemed to have a sore throat, so her parents didn't send her to school until she was nearly seven. The Honeys lived on a farm in the bush near Wonthaggi, Victoria. There were four kids and Elizabeth was number three. With her younger sister Mary, Elizabeth puzzled over jigsaws, played with the dogs, climbed trees and one way or another did a lot of pretending, on horses or tractors, in dress-ups or with glove puppets, round old trucks, cubbies, dams and hay sheds.

Elizabeth's first picture book, Princess Beatrice and the Rotten Robber was published in 1988. She now lives in Richmond, Melbourne, with her graphic designer husband, her two grown-up children and Dup, a scruffy little terrier. "

While in school Elizabeth recorded some readings of her stories to be shared amongst the school community.  Have a listen.
