When I grow up, I want to be just like Pennie. Mother, grandmother, photographer, artist, teacher, facilitator, author, book publisher, advocate for parents, and a big kid at heart. She is a fierce, and to use a Kiwi term, staunch advocate for children and has for a long time been one of my inspirations as an educator from whom I have learnt so much over the past decade.
Pennie I got stuck straight into our conversation and I didn’t want to miss a second so hit record without doing an official intro. So you’ll hear us jump straight into conversation. It felt like I was sitting in Pennie’s living room today and we were just trying to solve all the world’s problems. I hope you enjoy our conversation today as much as I did.
