The little boy said, “Mother? I’m scared to go into the meadow, because of the lion which is there.” ⁠ From “A Lion In The Meadow” by Margaret Mahy and Jenny Williams. Turns out my mother still has the 1969 edition, which I've been hunting for since 2018; I love the illustrations in this edition so much!⁠ ~⁠ #alioninthemeadow #margaretmahy #jennywilliams #puffinbooks #1969 #picturebook #kidlit #childrensfiction #picturebookillustration #picturebooks #picturebookstagram #childrensbook #kidlitart #picturebooksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbclpq8OAG3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Earlier this year I got the chance to work on a short film with #EranaJames, and she was such a delight both on and off screen. She is wonderfully talented and it was great to watch her do her thing, so I'm glad she gets to showcase her incredible talent to a wider audience in the #TheChangeover, a big screen adaptation of a story by #MargaretMahy. She holds her own fantastically well against the wonderful #TimothySpall and brings a unique sense of toughness and bravery to her character. Also the way this story plays out amongst the chaos of a post-earthquake Christchurch gives a haunting sense of isolation and other-worldliness that adds to the magic in the air. Definitely a solid entry in NZs film catalogue that should be checked out! . . . . . @thechangeovermovie #nzfilm #nz #wellington #christchurch #movie #movies #film #cinema #movietickets #moviegoer #moviebuff #review #filmreview #critique #flicks #movietheatre #blackandwhite #cinephile #cinephilecommunity #magic #witches #witch

“Here I go!” the paper hissed softly. “Changing! Changing!”... “My turn at last!” said the red line sliding up and down the paper. “I’m so excited. What am I going to be?” “I don’t know,” replied the red felt pen. “All you lines come out of me, but only the hand knows what you’re going to turn into.” “I don’t know either,” said the hand. “I get instructions from above.”

From ‘The Five Sisters’ by Margaret Mahy

Couldn't get the copy of #thechangeover with @erana_james on it that I really really wanted, but this one is still pretty 😊 I'm halfway done with this book and it's soooo good! I love everything about it so far 👀 I hope movie gets released for international viewing soon, can't wait to watch it 💜 #margaretmahy #thechangeoverbook #unitedbookstagram

The Changeover

Hand-embroidered witches’ robes, created in collaboration with Costume Designer Kirsty Cameron for the film adaptation of Margaret Mahy’s novella - The Changeover (2017) film is based in post-earthquake Christchurch and was filmed on location. 

I was honoured to have been a part of this project with Cameron in October last year. The film is now showing in cinemas worldwide.

#PictureBookChallenge Day 19 #RhymeTime. #BubbleTrouble by #MargaretMahy & @pollydunbar is one of THE BEST PICTURE BOOKS ON EARTH!!! Besides Polly's delightful illustrations, Margaret Mahy has written one of the best rhyming stories out there. 😍😍😍 . . "Little Mable blue blew a bubble and it caused a lot of trouble, Such a lot of trouble in a bibble-bobble way, For it broke away from Mable as it bobbed across the table, Where it bobbled over Baby, and it wafted him away." . . . #picturebooks #picturebook #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #books #book #bookstagram #instabook #bookchallenge #bubbles #bubble #PollyDunbar #kidslit #rhyme #rhymes

Day 30: The Changeover by Margaret Mahy. I love Mahy's books and this one in particular answered my need for magic and mystery when I was a child. I need to reread thia bit I'm scared the magic will be gone the second time around. #100happybookdays #bookstagram #fantasy #newzealandwriter #books #fantasy #margaretmahy
