I'm Belinda O'Keefe (a.k.a. Bee) and I love writing for kids. I have two Russian Blue cats - Enzo, who thinks he's a dog, and Portia, who's addicted to nerf bullets and guitar picks. Yes, she actually tries to eat them! I love gardening, and my vegetable garden inspired my first picture book, The Day the Plants Fought Back, published in June 2019. I write junior fiction novels too, about slime, stink bombs, and crazy cats. Watch this space!

Peas
My peas are finally ready! Reminds me of a scene from Partners in Slime, when Uncle Ivor "shelled peas into an upturned paua shell". They won't last long around here!

Coming in 2022...
Here's a sneak peek at what's happening next year.
I'm really excited to work with Bateman Books and share Enzo's
"Journey Through the Cat Door"!

Vivacious Veges
After 11 school visit sessions over the past week, I finally get to use up these veges! First up, leek & potato soup!
