y separately published work icon Just One Bee Orange : Dirt Lane Press , 2021 23827598 2021 single work picture book children's 'Just One Bee is a story of hope, determination and never giving up: the story of One-bee and her dream to revert desolate wastes back to fields of flowers. But to change a desert to meadowland she needs to go it alone because when she comes across another bee, she discovers not only is he hoarding a single precious flower and a queen bee, but he refuses to believe positive change is possible. Other-bee does all he can to quash One-bee's dream. But One-bee’s persistence, patience and optimism eventually prove Other-bee wrong, and she shows him how dreams can come true.'

y separately published work icon Jelly-Boy Newtown : Walker Books Australia , 2020 17420319 2020 single work picture book children's

'An unconventional, every-kid picture book that has the potential to inspire the next generation of readers to protect our oceans.

'What happens when a jellyfish falls in love with a plastic bag she mistakes for a jelly-boy? Jelly-Boy is different. He is big and strong. And not as wobbly as the other Jelly-boys. By the time Jelly-Girl discovers the dangerous truth about her new friend, it may already be too late. This is an inventive approach to tackling a conservation issue that is plaguing our world: too much plastic in the ocean. Told in a kid-friendly and humorous way, this is a story with the potential to encourage dialogue around an important issue.'
