But they're not all about me! It's hard to say this, but it's true.

Every now and again, Frances writes a story about tree or birds or animals or something else that comes straight out of the bush.

I love the bush, so I can't be cross.

Bush Christmas

The team of Maber and Hills have done it again. They've brought out another book. They didn't need me in the story, but you'll notice while no-one was looking, I found a baby photo of me and popped it on Page 1. After all, you have to have a baby in a Christmas story. This one's got two.

This is about an old man who lives on a farm in the bush. His grandson is bringing his wife for a visit, so Gramp has to prepare for them. It's lucky that the Bush Angel comes and helps him, and that Jo, the little donkey, is there to check everything.
