Our new book - Early Childhood Voices has just arrived. It is always great to hold a new book. I am so proud of this book - a collaboration between members of the Early Childhood Interdisciplinary Research Group. It was a privilege to mentor the book editors (Linda, Andi and Jenny) to edit their first book - and to support the chapter authors - most of whom had never written a book chapter. The Preface also features my friend, Elsie Hey-Cunningham's excellent drawing of talking over Zoom.
