Davide Cali, one of Europe's top kids' writers, will be touring Australia for the first time in May 2012

TO COUNT DOWN to Davide Cali’s arrival in Australia on 16 May, we’re conducting a 15-day blog tour from 1 May.

What’s a blog tour? Well, it’s an author tour that takes place online. Like any tour, it takes place over a fixed period of time (in our case, from 1 to 15 May), and there’s something new happening every day.

The goal is to give Australia’s book bloggers, and those who blog about kids’ books, a chance to get involved in Davide Cali’s visit to Australia, by posting interviews with him, reviewing his books, offering giveaways and a maybe giving a sneak peak of his award-winning new book, 10 Little Insects.

We’ve already enrolled some very enthusiastic bloggers for the tour. If you have a blog – about kids, books, parenting, family or something related – and would like to participate, we’d love to hear from you. Contact Justine in our office for more information.
