Jo Bryant

Dame Lynley Dodd  is quite a hero to New Zealanders and I suspect to children and grown-ups everywhere who have had the incredible pleasure of reading her Hairy Maclary books. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7xlK4yfmeo Recently in Tauranga an outdoor exhibition opened of sculptures of some of her most beloved characters.
