What’s in the Prize Pack
The Lighthouse Princess
The Lighthouse Princess is almost perfectly happy. She takes care of the light that keeps ships at sea safe, catches fish off the balcony and swims with penguins and seals.
But one day, a little fishing boat with green sails sets out just as a storm blows up…
Poet Susan Wardell’s debut picture book is a celebration of independence and friendship, with magical and award-winning illustrations by Rose Northey, recipient of the Storylines Gavin Bishop Award 2021.
Goose the Artist
Meet Goose, a passionate artist who wants to create a PERFECT portrait and win the village art competition. But after a whole week of painting Puffin and friends, Goose is all aflutter. Is an artist’s work EVER good enough? As Goose paints and paints to make the perfect picture, the deadline draws closer, the pressure mounts and Goose feels the cherished award slipping further and further out of reach. Then disaster strikes.
This delightful story is set in the endearing world of Puffin the Architect and her friends. Readers will love pouring over Kimberly Andrews’ detailed pictures and spotting the spider hidden on every page, as Goose explores the trials and rewards of making art.
Granny McFlitter The Knit Before Christmas
Fast-knitting Granny McFlitter is CRAFTIER THAN EVER in this award-winning Christmas story by Heather Haylock and Lael Chisholm.
Granny McFlitter is back to save Christmas at the zoo, one lightning-quick stitch at a time!
‘Twas the night before Christmas and down at the zoo,
the keepers were ready; the animals, too…’
All of a sudden there’s a commotion – who has unravelled the animals’ stockings? With Santa arriving any moment, the zookeepers call on a champion knitter for a Christmas Eve miracle!
Can Granny McFlitter pull one — or should we say, purl one — out of her knitting bag? A delightfully knotty and knitty festive tale from the award-winning creators of Granny McFlitter.
