New ‘Kingfishers of Australia’ design
This colourful design celebrates Australia’s 10 species of kingfisher, including 2 species of kookaburra. (In case you’re wondering, the Laughing Kookaburra is the kookaburra species familiar to most people, and the one with the ‘laughing’ call. The Blue-winged Kookaburra lives in Northern Australia, and has a call that’s been described as ‘appalling’. You may think that’s unfair until you hear a group of Blue-winged Kookaburras settling down for the night, and mistakenly think it’s a raucous pack of demons.)
This design is now available as an Organic Cotton Tea Towel and a Postcard.

“This is my favourite book”
Last Sunday morning, I was minding my stall at the Beechmont Market. The day was bright, sunny, with a chilly western wind. A woman picked up a copy of my book ‘Stories from the Wildworld’.
She looked at me and said “This is my favourite book. I try to give away lots of books, but I just can’t bring myself to get rid of this one. It’s my favourite book”.
Do you have any idea how wonderful it is, for an author and illustrator, to hear those words?

A super-easy mini-book for exploring nature
I had a fabulous time last Saturday, immersing myself in the garden, and in this little art project. Big thanks to @wildinksketch for the inspiration!
This easy-to-make tiny book is another great way to nature journal. There’s something special and exciting about 3D paper creations. I can’t wait to teach this nature journaling approach to kids and adults ☺️
