After a short battle with cancer, Ms Mahy passed away yesterday.
One of New Zealand's greatest ever writers and one of the pioneers of children's literature in general.
I just loved her. She wrote such beautiful short stories and her children's stories and poetry (in particular Bubble Trouble, which might be my favourite poem to read out loud ever) were so cheerful and lively. I grew up with them.
I just don't have the words.
Thank you and RIP, Ms Mahy.
