Tim is always losing things when he travels — he is a foster child, and often moves from one family to the next. One day he realizes he has lost something very precious: his laugh. Then he moves in with the Lee family, and some news arrives that might just help Tim find his laugh again. The Boy Who Lost His Laugh takes a sensitive look at foster care from the child’s perspective, and shows how humour and love can help you bounce back and find what you’ve been looking for all along.
To Read, Write and Inspire sum up Dimity’s main passions in life, along with sailing on the beam, eating ice cream and writing in her diary – although doing all three at once makes her nauseous. She’s a Kids’ Lit nut who loves filling every spare moment with words which she enjoys weaving into short story anthologies, digital narratives, junior novels, and most gratifyingly, picture books. When she’s not wrangling words and her border collies, she’s reviewing or sharing her love of story in front of crowds of very young (and old!) people. It says so on her website, so it must be true. Dimity delights in rainy days and is never ever afraid of getting wet although still can’t surf despite living on the Gold Coast, Australia.
