ORI'S Cleanup_Front COVERsmaller.jpg

Anne Donnelly's new picture book

July 12, 2018

Congrats to Anne Donnelly on her wonderful text and illustrations for

Ori's Clean-UP

independently published, in hardback

for ages 4 - 8.

Ori the Octopus and his friends have left their rubbish everywhere. They tidy up, but it doesn't work. To keep their home clean and healthy, they need to do something different, something better.

Ori the Octopus  is endorsed by Clean Up Australia, who have provided a glowing review for the back cover, and allowed use of their logo. It's to be released in August through Woodslane Book Distributor.

Great idea - congrats again Anne!

New picture book for Elizabeth Cummings

July 12, 2018

Congrats to Elizabeth Cummings on the publication of

Dinner on the Doorstep

Illustrated by Bronte Goodieson

Published by Coogee, in paperback.

DOTDS is a picture book with a message at two levels. On the surface it's the story of a community supporting a family when mum is in hospital. Its deeper meaning concerns the uncertainty family illness brings.

The story took over three years to create, and over a year of collaboration with talented young graphic designer Bronte. Its plot line and visuals were discussed with those with lived experience of long term family illness.

Much needed - congrats again Elizabeth!

Another picture book for Sophie Masson

June 18, 2018

Congrats to the amazing Sophie Masson on the publication of

See Monkey

Illustrated by Kathy Creamer

Published by Little Pink Dog Books, in hardback

For ages 3 - 7.

From morning till night, Monkey loves to have fun. And even if his antics go wrong, he's always endearing! A warm, funny story about the busy day of a toddler and his favourite toy.

Clearly a barrel of laughs - congrats once again Sophie!
