The Cow that Swam out to Sea

  
The Cow that Swam out to Sea has launched! I was thrilled to illustrate Pamela Rushby’s story. The Qld State Library and the First 5 Forever program have published 12 books, created by Qld authors and illustrators. The series is titled: Stories for Little Queenslanders and will be available at all Qld libraries and Indigenious knowledge centre. Based on a true story of a cow’s journey after being washed down the Brisbane River during the floods. This is a book about finding courage and being brave.
