Visiting
schools and organisations is something Tania loves to do. She has read books, made presentations and spoken to schools all over Beijing and around Canberra. If you would like to organise a visit to your school, see here (visits include the best folded paper aeroplane ever invented!).
Tania was a Children's Book Council of Australia Visiting Author in the ACT in 2009 and will be doing it all over again in August 2010. In September 2010, she will be touring the east coast from Coffs Harbour to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Stay tuned for more!
Tania has also spoken and presented to big groups of adults (not as much fun as little groups of kids, of course). To view a full list of all the events she has participated in, see here, pronto!
