INCITE looks into Author Nick Blank and his publisher scholistic.
Nick is a childrens book writer and  during the national simultaniouse storytime (NSS)
Alia is using NIck's books "The very Cranky Bear" to promote and aim for children around 2000 location across the nation to participate in the event.

Incite looks in to Nicks's early life  living in Darwin and growing up in countru victoria and spending his childhood and teens roaming around the bush.

He love telling stories when he hit high school but discovered his love for picture books whilst working in book shops and advertising. He wrote his first book in 2005  and fourteen more books have followed.

I love this article in particular because as a mother of 2 young girls it gives me the confidence to know that library organisations are still out there helping and promoting Authors and their books to to larger number of communuty.

The Author said "reading" is a simple developement for engaging in stories which i quite agree and love the fact that his book is available in other languages.
