Summer Reading/ Quick Read/ Must read and GREAT XMAS GIFT -
REUNITED by Murray Collins and Illustrated by Brian Collins ( Father and son team)
This morning I was handed a copy of the book, REUNITED, to see if I would like to add it to the BPS Library. She said, 'It is a quick read!' That's all she said! She forgot to mention what a whimsical, playful, funny and a quirky read it is. You will never look at your sock drawer the same once you read, REUNITED. This is a story written from the perspective of a pair of socks. It has a play with words and is a light- hearted read. Children will love it!
Murray Collins, ex BPS Dad and husband of Sally, our Admissions Manager, is launching his book, 'Reunited' at Timbuktu Café at 3pm tomorrow, Wednesday 15th December, as part of their Christmas market. The book is published by Caroline Webber, a BPS parent, and printed in Victoria. A portion of the sales is going to the charity, Very Special Kids.
