A SEA TURTLE'S JOURNEY in the August Issue of BLAST OFF (The School Magazine, Australia)

I am pleased to have my article A Sea Turtle's Journey republished in the August issue of BLAST OFF, one of the school magazines of the New South Wales Department of Education in Australia. This is the same article that was published in May 2019 in BLAST OFF. I am happy that it is available again for a new audience. The School Magazine is Australia’s most loved and longest running literary publication for children. BLAST OFF is intended for children ages 9-10.

Sea turtles live in tropical oceans all over the world. My article focuses on green sea turtles that live along the coasts of northern Australia. They migrate between their nesting beaches and their feeding grounds along the Australian coast and nearby islands.

Some turtles swim more than two thousand kilometers each way! (Green sea turtles can also be seen elsewhere in the Pacific, including on the beaches of Hawaii.)

MAKING MOCHI, Article in BLAST OFF (The School Magazine, Australia)

I was pleased to have my article Making Mochi published in the March issue of BLAST OFF, one of the school magazines published by the New South Wales Department of Education in Australia. Mochi is a small sweet cake made from rice and is a traditional Japanese food. I learned to like mochi on my first visit to Japan. Now one can find it in many places around the world. I sometimes buy it frozen and eat it like ice cream. As I say at the end of the article: "There are many ways to enjoy mochi all year long. Whichever way your choose, the mochi always tastes delicious!"
