  • ‘Kara the Kākāpō’

    This fun rhyming picture book about a determined wee bird is delightful. The yellow text pops against the muted backgrounds of the night sky and the New Zealand native bush. But far from dull are these illustrations. Beautiful colours almost glow from the page with layers of shapes, shadow, flora and fauna...

  • ‘Kara the Kākāpō’

    You cannot resist picking up a book with a cover as stunning and vibrant as this. The illustrations inside certainly did not disappoint, either. In fact, each illustration was like an artwork in itself that could be framed and displayed... What a sensational debut book! I look forward to more from this collaboration.

  • ‘Harry the Hermit Crab’

    There is so much to love about this book, the text cleverly teaches a lot about crabs and about their environment. It is full of enriched vocabulary, with verbs like strewn, scuttled and scampered and it has a delightful rhyming pattern. ation conscious people.
