Katrina McKelvey's new picture book

July 21, 2020

Congrats to Katrina McKelvey on the publication this month (August) of

Chasing Rainbows

Illustrated by Cheri Hughes

Published by Big Sky Publishing, in paperback

For ages 3 - 8.

Are rainbows magical? And how do you ‘capture’ a rainbow to find out?
Chasing Rainbows is an entertaining story of chaos, colour and a new discovery that will change the way Sam and Ruby see rainbows forever.

A book launch will be planned for later in the year once restrictions soften and community groups can come together once more to celebrate books.

Bring it on - congrats again Katrina!
