Stories


Imagine if Shel Silverstein, Hayao Miyazaki, Dr Seuss, the Teletubbies and Andy Warhol had a whimsical tea party – that's the flavour or I bring to my work! With a splash of humour, a dash of wonder, and a generous sprinkle of quirkiness, I craft picture books that tickle fancies, spark imaginations, and warm hearts.

My pages burst with oddball characters who skip, tumble, and somersault through adventures big and small. Whether you're a tot, a teen, or a grown-up with a forever-young spirit, come join the fun!

Turning giggles into guffaws, doodles into masterpieces, and everyday moments into extraordinary memories – one delightfully peculiar page at a time!

    Meet Edgar, a young black cockatoo who's not quite ready to leave his cozy nest. With wobbly legs and trembling feathers, he faces his biggest challenge yet – learning to fly!

    When an accidental tumble sends Edgar plummeting from his treetop home, he finds himself in a world that's TOO BIG, TOO LOUD, and TOO SCARY.

    Edgar the Brave teaches children that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is take that first leap – even when it feels impossible.

  • MADDIE MESSY MOP

    Maddie Messy Mop refuses to brush her unruly hair. She ignores her mother's warnings until a kookaburra builds a nest in her tangles.

    KOO! KOO! KOO!

    Maddie's head grows heavier as more Australian birds join - from lorikeets to fairy-wrens. She tries various comical methods to evict her feathered tenants, but nothing works. Maddie must overcome her aversion to brushing before her bird-filled mop becomes too heavy.

    The story combines humour with gentle lessons about self-care and the consequences of choices.
