Little Mister Is Here!

Hard to believe but finally Little Mister gets a Sister is released!!!

Written by Samaria Lemke and published by Larrikin House it is the sweetest story of the effect of a new sibling in the home. Hysterical situations are captured beautifully by Samaria’s text.

Our Bookish days review stated, ‘This is an extremely relatable story seeing those little signs of jealousy peek through when everyone is fussing over the new baby… Little Mister Gets a Sister is humorous and light hearted and would make a wonderful gift for new big brother and sisters.”

June 2021 Catch Up

Hello! I’ve been a busy bee and a little slow on the blogging side!!! Here’s a catch up…

I loved doing the illustrations for “Little Mister Gets a Sister”. I learnt a lot and enjoyed the process of sinking into world of “Little Mister “in my imagination. Larrikin house was a fabulous publishing company to work with and I count myself very blessed for the opportunity.Now comes the impatient wait by Samaria Lemke (author) and myself for it to be published - hopefully October this year!
