New picture book for Lesley Gibbes

August 23, 2017

Congrats to Lesley Gibbes on the release of her new picture book

Fluke

illustrated by Michelle Dawson

Published by Working Title Press, Harper Collins Australia, in hardback

For ages 4 - 9.

In 2012 a southern right whale gave birth to a calf in Sydney Harbour. The people of Sydney were entranced. The story of Fluke is based on this event.

Lesley is the author of CBCA Honour Book Scary Night, and Notable Books, Little Bear's First Sleep and Fizz and the Police Dog Tryouts.

Great idea - congrats again Lesley!
