New picture book for Debra Tidball

September 15, 2017

Congrats to Debra Tidball on the publication of

The Scared Book

Illustrated by Kim Siew

Published by Hachette (Lothian), in hardback

for ages 3 - 8.

This book is too scared to tell its story, so it asks readers to help it rub away the goosebumps, blow away the butterflies and other actions, to help it feel better and rid it of the scary monsters.

What a great angle - congrats again Debra!

September 15, 2017

Congrats to Corinne Fenton for the publication of her new picture book

Little Dog and the Summer Holiday

Illustrated by Robin Cowcher

Published by Black Dog Books (Walker Books Australia), in hardback

For ages 4+

The summer holidays stretch out forever. Little Dog and his family set off with their caravan. A nostalgic and delightful story about the way family holidays used to be.

A companion book to the hugely successful Little Dog and the Christmas Wish, which was the theme for the 2015 Myer Christmas Windows in Melbourne and Brisbane, and this Christmas will be the theme for the Myer Geelong Windows.

A richly deserved honour - congrats again Corinne!
