We've popped together a list of SOME of our favorite younger kids (5-9year old ish) books - Books kids can identify with and that can help to support, empower and build their confidence. Books that are a GREAT ADDITION to classrooms everywhere!!

Fantastic books written by wonderful Australian Authors sharing their lived experience of neurodivergent life.

Huge shout out to No Bluff News for putting out such a great newsletter!! Great updates as to what's on for adults, kids, businesses locally, public announcements, local jobs, real-estate, sports results etc not to mention loads of interesting local news snippets. ( https://news.noblufflocal.com/- scroll to the bottom and you can join their mailing list.)

Who knew that #12: Misery Beach and Elephant Rocks hit Lonely Planet's top 100 or that Kojonup duo Old Mervs scored their first double inclusion on triple j's Hottest 100, with Don't Go landing at number 98 and Everyone Will See It locking in 83rd spot in the January 24 countdown!!! That's pretty awesome!

They have also started up a great directory of local businesses-
Thanks so much for adding us and for adding so much detail! We really appreciate it!

JUST RESTOCKED!!!!

Don't wait!!! Get in quick- our last SPEKS ODDS (especially the Orange and Blue) raced out the door!!!

Perfectly weighted and designed to fit nicely into your hand, the strong magnets inside them hold the trio together beautifully. The feeling of resistance as you pull them apart is really satisfying.

Oddly the Speks Odds are really bouncy and they have a really soft silicone outer, each colour having a different texture. From the soft smooth sides of the orange Odds to the bumpy pink texture, the pointy blue and spikey greens.

These have definitely been our favorite SPEKS product to date!

EDIT: Apologies, the incident that inspired the Kepler Keychain was at a shopping Centre not the movies!
