Gwyneth Page has been very busy!

June 25, 2019

Congrats to Gwyneth Page , not only on the publication of her picture book

Elly the Elephant

Illustrated by Emily Jane

In paperback, for ages 0 - 5

Elly’s neighbours are so different from her that she doesn’t know how to make friends with them. She plays alone with her beachball. But when a gust of wind blows the ball away, Elly learns a lesson about building friendships.

A rhyming book about friendship, featuring elephants, giraffes, monkeys, lions, hippos … and keep an eye out for the cute little bird!

BUT ALSO - her new junior fiction series, including:

PJ Mouse in Queensland - proof #1-page-001 copy 2 (1).jpg

The Travel Adventures of PJ Mouse

Illustrated by Megan Elizabeth,

In hardback, for ages 3 - 10.

PJ Mouse, an adorable little stuffed animal, was lost and alone until Emily heard his cries for help. Now, along with his new family, PJ travels the world - discovering exciting places, people, animals and history along the way.

This is one of five books in the series covering Canada, Queensland, England, New Zealand and Italy. Reminiscent of Winnie the Pooh, PJ Mouse tells the story.

Both books are self-published.

What an achievement - congrats again Gwyneth!
