If you missed it last month, be sure to read our guest post by Australian writer Hazel Edwards entitled “How I Feel About a Film Being Made from My Picture Book There’s a Hippopotamus on Our Roof Eating Cake”. Besides celebrating the release of this short film and recently being named as one of the Ambassadors for the National Year of Reading  in 2012, Hazel is also celebrating the online release of her literacy-mystery e-books. One of her reasons for releasing e-books she says  is so that she can “reach kids in remote communities or even international schools who don’t have access to bookshops but whose parents can buy $2.95 easy-to-read books online.”  Interested in learning more about the e-process? Check out Hazel’s and illustrator-designer Jane Connory’s post Co-Designing E-books Literacy Mystery Quest.
