Aria Finds Her Voice is a story about a young girl who feels different. Being an introvert, Aria is always overlooked by others. This leaves her feeling sad and unseen. After being encouraged by Mum to speak up for herself, Aria sets off on a journey in the hope of finding her voice. Along her path, Aria meets many feathered friends who help her to discover strength, confidence, happiness and trust.

​
I AM Strong! I AM Confident!
I AM Happy! I Am Beautiful!
Why should you buy this book?
Aria Finds Her Voice is a beautifully told story of self-discovery and self-reflection. Many children who are introverts often find it difficult to speak up, or feel discouraged because they feel like they don't fit in. This can lead to feelings of sadness, withdrawal, low self-confidence, low self-esteem, anxiety and fear.
Aria Finds Hers Voice teaches simple life lessons to help children learn to listen to their own thoughts and feelings and help them understand that everything they need is right there within themselves.
Aria Finds Her Voice empowers children with positive thoughts and affirmations to build their self-confidence and inspire them to value and respect who they are, no matter how quiet they are as "silence is a gift and can be just as powerful as their voice! "

Find out in the second book of the exciting adventures of Gar and Emu!
Why should you buy this book?
The Great Camel Race is the second book in the lively, rhyming picture book series of Gar and Emu. Full of fun and mishaps, this story takes children on an adventure to the Australian Outback to experience one of the all great traditions of Central Australia, something that many children may not otherwise experience.
It is a great book to entertain those children who are more reluctant to listen to or read picture books themselves, especially those who love a bit of competition or healthy humour.
Children will take delight in laughing at the many amusing blunders that lead to the end of the race for many of the camels and the antics of that menacing emu, who makes an appearance from the first story, The Great Emu Chase.

The Great Emu Chase

Uh, oh! There's an emu on the loose and he's stolen all Gar's chips! Will Gar catch him and get back his chips? Or will that artful emu win the day?
​
Find out in this hilarious adventure through an Australian Wildlife Park.
​
Why should you buy this book?
The Great Emu Chase is the first lively, rhyming picture book in the Gar and Emu series. It takes children on an adventure through an Australian Wildlife Park, as a sprightly old Grandfather pursues an emu in pursuit to get his chippies back.
Many children have experienced a visit to wildlife park and can relate to the menacing antics of emu's who are well known for trying to pilfer food, so children will delight in the humorous situations that Gar gets himself into with the other animals when he chases Emu through many of the animal enclosures.
​
The Great Emu Chase Chase is beutifully illustrated with watercolors by artist and illustrator, Emma Stuart, and has a fun chorus throughout the story to keep the youngest of children engaged.
