It’s easy to feel passionate about picture books. The engaging harmony between text and illustrations can take not only children, but also adults, to amazing and wonderful worlds. Writing and illustrating my first picture book, The Green Goggles, was a dream come true. I hope to write many, many more stories for children.
Bedtime Bilby
Baby doesn’t want to go to sleep. So his cuddly friend Bilby takes him on a magical journey through the night as the world falls asleep. Gnome puts his tools away, mother bear snuggles her cub, and mermaids drift into peaceful slumber in this bedtime adventure.
Bedtime Bilby is a story that can be read from birth to encourage a bedtime routine. Studies have shown that reading books with key words including ‘sleep’, ‘rest’, ‘tired’, ‘close eyes’, etc, act as triggers on a subliminal level to help children fall into a peaceful sleep
The book includes:
- Bilby Education Page
- Sleep Tips & Parent Information
$1 from every sale of Bedtime Bilby and the plush bilby toy are donated to
Save the Bilby Fund.
