Doggie Does Lockdown

In 2020, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) spread around the world. To keep people safe, millions of people were ordered to stay home. We called it lockdown. Doggy decided it was a time to get busy.

About the Author

Claudia Hutton turned 11 in November 2020. An only child, she felt the loneliness of being in lockdown during the 2020 pandemic when children were confined to their homes and experienced home learning for the first time.
 
As a gift to her cousins for Christmas, Claudia used her iPad to take photos of her toy dog and wrote this story. In her own way, she created an activity to keep herself busy and through ‘Doggy’ described her life through this very difficult time.

Percy the Pig

Percy is a curious pig.

All new baby animals learn by exploring, curiosity is a wonderful thing.

Join the farm family as they go on a hunt for our friend Percy the pig.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

This might be Katey Chesterton’s first book, but her experience with children stretches back years, with the Sydney resident a long-time childcare worker with a speciality in working with disabled children.

It was here, in childcare centres around Sydney, that Katey first recognised the need for a new, positive character in children’s literature, and her work experience gave her the perfect sounding board to see which ideas were a hit, and which weren’t.

As result, Katey can’t take all the credit for this work. None of it would have been possible without the hundreds of kids around Sydney who helped her decide that Percy should be a pig, and helped decide on all the other characters, too.

Thank you very much for reading this book. Katey – and Percy – hope you like it very much.

Where is Teddy? by self-published author Alexandra Trevena
BOOK ENQUIRIES

ISBN 978-1922452-40-5
PAPERBACK

Where is Teddy?

Could Teddy be snorkelling in the Bahamas, swimming with an octopus? Teddy is missing, where could he be? Let your imagination run wild as you explore the world with Teddy. Will Teddy be found?

Alexandra Trevena, self-published author of 'Where is Teddy?'

About the Author

As a Mother of two school age children and studying a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education, writing a children’s book was a natural fit.  The story of Where is Teddy stemmed from the regular occurrence of my son Aiden losing Teddy and needing to find him at bedtime so he can go to sleep.  He would often feel sad that he had lost Teddy and I would make a game out of trying to find him.  We would come up with ideas about where in the world Teddy might be and what he might be doing whilst we were looking for him.  This spurred the official writing of Where is Teddy.  My children and I enjoy doing artwork together and my youngest son Ethan attends a local art class in the Barossa Valley named Tutti Arts.  Artists from the adult class agreed to collaborate with my children and I to create the artwork for the book making it very authentic and original.  Production of this book took place over the beginning of the Covid period here in Australia which highlighted that this book could be a good opportunity to travel the world using your imagination as we are currently unable to travel overseas.
