About the Author

The authors wife called him Major Grumpy Morning Man. Going off if all didn’t go to plan. Yelling over little things gone wrong, same tune, different song.

No goodbye, no hug, no kiss, his unkind words, her clenched-up fist. Until she said no more, she sent him packing, she closed the door.

He was left to make some changes, he got help, he talked to strangers. He finally got to see himself, he wrote this book, he wants to help.

If you see yourself in this book there’s help out there you need to look.

Surfa Saurus

Surfa Saurus on the move surfing to the big–wave groove!

Sid Surfa Saurus and his best friend Dally are not your usual dinosaurs – they surf. But they didn’t always.

Thousands of years ago, while being chased by meat-eaters, they ran into the ocean to escape danger and discovered the coolest lifestyle imaginable – surfing. Sid and Dally were the very first surfers on planet Earth.

What happened next, was unimaginable. The climate changed – not once, but twice!

First of all, the ice age came and their world froze. They were caught, mid-wave, inside icebergs for millions of years … One day, the world began to warm up and the icebergs melted. Sid and Dally then found themselves in a modern world full of sun, sand and yes; surfing!

About the Author

Lynnette Sim is the author of children’s picture book, ‘Blue the Balloon Bumps into Sydney’. She writes for the very young children with the focus of introducing them to the beauty of words, places, and people. Her writing style is simple, fun, and positive.

The love for children picture books began since Lynnette’s parents introduced picture books into her life. Those picture books led her to appreciate the beauty of words and the craft of storytelling. Naturally, she loves to read and tell stories. However, writing picture books is a journey that she does not envisage.

During her travels with her son, she is always on the lookout for picture books that she can bring home, to relish the memories of places that they have explored. She found some stunning picture books in Europe which inspired her to create a picture book for her home city, Sydney.

Lynnette undertook studies in the art of story writing and completed a picture book writing course with the Australian Writers Centre. Her debut picture book, ‘Blue the Balloon Bumps into Sydney’ is her way of storytelling that culminates her love for beauty found in words, places, and people.

Lynnette lives in the scenic harbour city of Sydney, Australia, with her husband and son.

PAPERBACK

Annabel’s Mum

Based on the real journey of a young mother diagnosed with cancer during the pregnancy of her second child. This story highlights the feelings of change and uncertainty from the perspective of Annabel – just a toddler at the time of her Mum’s diagnosis. However, it also celebrates the excitement and gift of new life and pays homage to memories of the people we love.

This book may help a child to understand that although many changes occur when a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, the child is still important; the child remains safe, loved, and will forever be connected to their loved one.

Annabel’s Mum is aimed at families with young children, aged 2-8, but can be enjoyed and appreciated by all ages. It is an excellent resource for primary schools to use in social and emotional wellbeing programs such as ‘Seasons for Growth‘ (by Good Grief) as children explore the topics of change, loss, and grief.

Take it On

Lucy was diagnosed with cancer when she was just 6 years old. “Take it on” written by Lucy herself details her journey and is intended to help other young people who may be starting their own journey, what they can expect to feel and experience along the way.

 

About the Author

Hi, I’m Lucy.
I was diagnosed when I was 6. Before I knew I had cancer, I was feeling very sick in the mornings and would vomit. After that, I would be fine. I found out I had cancer after I had a CT scan, which was done in a big loud donut shaped machine. 
Have you had one of them?
Through this new journey, it’s ok to feel scared; I know I was! Lots of things are going to change, but just remember there are lots of people around you who can help and explain any questions you may have. My family, including my Mum, Dad and Brother were always there for me no matter what, and still are today.
So… Do whatever you can to beat this monster! I know you can do it; after all, this is your journey.

PAPERBACK

To Be Cool, You Must Be Kind

To Be Cool, You Must Be Kind; is a children’s story with a hidden message. It touches on a variety of behaviours school aged children would typically experience when trying to fit in and be accepted for who they are. The book goes through what children may perceive as ‘ being cool’ versus what it actually takes to be cool and ultimately that is found in the way of kindness and acceptance.

This is a great children’s story suitable for school aged children, that not only has a great message; but is also enjoyable to read.

About the Author

Mother by Day, Writer by night!

I am a mother of four with three boys and one girl. Although I have always had an urge to make a bigger contribution within society, it was my children that gave me to inspiration to pursue my passion to make a difference. One of my biggest challenges is to try and change the stigma’s associated with so many situations we faced as children and our children continue to face today. My book, ‘ To Be Cool, You Must Be Kind; was written to try and change the way we perceive someone being cool. It touches on a variety of behaviours typically seen in school aged children and walks the readers through what it really takes to be cool; and ultimately that is being kind.

All of my stories both present and future will have hidden messages written in a child friendly and enjoyable manner.

Our children are the future and we can change the way they think and perceive the world, one book at a time!
