New book for Rory H Mather

Congratulations to Rory H Mather on the publication of

Roary the Lion

a hardback fiction picture book for 3-8 year olds illustrated by Pat Corrigan and published by Larrikin House.

Roary's supposed to be the King of the Jungle! Try as he might, poor Roary has trouble finding his voice. Can his friends help him find his bellow or will he be left with a tiny squeak?

New book for Julie Murphy

Congratulations to Julie Murphy on the publication of

Tiny Possum and the Migrating Moths

a hardback non-fiction picture book illustrated by Ben Clifford and published by CSIRO Publishing.

High in the Australian Alps, Possum must find enough food and shelter to survive the harsh alpine winter. She will spend months hibernating under a blanket of snow. Will she last through the year to successfully raise a new family?

Once thought to be extinct, around 2500 mountain pygmy-possums exist in the wild. They need snow and bogong moths to survive, plus support from great conservation work.
