WOLF BABY
We were watching dragons float and mountains bloom in the sky, when we first heard him cry . . .
‘Wolves are not our friends,’ Granny warns.
But Nellie and Mateo bring the wolf baby home ... From the creator of the best-selling Bowerbird Blues comes this timeless tale of love overcoming fear.
Bowerbird's nest is full. These fine eggs, whole and smooth ... the perfect THREE! But will they hatch?
The heart-warming follow-up to the best-selling Bowerbird Blues, comes this heart-warming ode to nature and a mother’s love for her young.
Bowerbird loves BLUE. Magnificent cobalt. Brilliant, vibrant BLUE! But something is missing. What could it be?
This picture book from Aura Parker stars a beautiful bowerbird on the search for BLUE! It’s a moving story of longing and connection, that unfolds as the bowerbird’s search sends him soaring across the sea, sky and city. He swoops and snatches vibrant treasures for his collection, and soon his bower—a mix of natural and unnatural objects—attracts something greater and more fulfilling than he could ever have imagined.
