Mem Fox @ Newtown Library

Last week, I attended a presentation by the wonderful Australian author, Mem Fox at Newtown Library. 



She spoke with great passion about her books. She promoted the idea that children need to be read to by their parents and grandparents. 

Mem also made the point that a child who has only a digital device for company can be very lonely and isolated. She said that connections with significant adults through books are vital, if we are to help children love reading.
