Ania, Eada, George, and Conall thought the zoo was just a place for animals, ice cream, and sunny days—until they discovered the truth. Behind its gates lies a hidden world of magic, mystery, and mythical creatures.

Guided by Bobby the wise orangutan, Luna the brave witch, and Zooey the kind zookeeper, the siblings are swept into a dangerous battle against wicked witches.

As they uncover their own animal powers and deep connection to the zoo, they must learn to be brave, work together, and save the magical world before it’s lost forever.

The Adventures of Tassie Tiger

 

The Adventures of Tassie Tiger is a delightful tale about the last surviving Tasmanian Tiger and his Aussie animal buddies. Together, they journey through the Tasmanian bush, navigate rivers, and scale Cradle Top Mountain, where they encounter two nature lovers who help save Tassie from hunter Hank.

Herein lies a heartwarming tale with an inspiring conservationist message, rooted in actual historical fact that saw the hunting of Tasmanian Tigers banned in 1936. Sadly these efforts weren’t enough, the animal now extinct – their spirit lives on and still has something to teach our young ones – even from the ‘mysterious beyond’.

With over eight years of experience, she brings deep insight into the emotional and developmental needs of children.

Her work reflects her belief in the power of speaking life and truth into the next generation.
