New Picture Book for Katrina Germein

Congratulations to Katrina Germein on the publication of

Bev and Kev

A new picture book for early years published by Little Book Press.

Illustrated by Mandy Foot.

Bev is tall and Kev is small. An unlikely pair. Could this be the beginning of a very big friendship?
A heart-warming tale about learning to love yourself and the value of a true friend.

Great Big Softie

A picture book for ages 3-6 published by New Frontier Press.

Elliot is a GREAT BIG SOFTIE. But to fit in with the other monsters, he performs some MONSTROUS deeds. After scaring a little girl on her bike, he must decide whether to continue being MONSTROUS or follow his heart. Looks so cute! Another winner for award-winning Kaye!

New Picture Book for Rebecca Marshallsay

March 29, 2022

Congratulations to Rebecca Marshallsay on the publication of

Facing the Wave

a picture book for ages 3-8 published by Larrikan Press. Illustrated by Vaughan Duck.

Trying new things can be scary. But, with a little push and a lot of paddling, even the biggest waves are possible. A surfing story about facing fears and how a few words of encouragement can change someone's day.

This is Bec’s debut picture book. Huge congrats!
