Release Day
A happy, little announcement.
Hello! A quick bonus post because my new picture book, Girls Like, illustrated beautifully by Deb Hudson, is out today! It’s been spied in some stores already, and I’m going to try to spot a copy at my local bookstore this afternoon.
Yesterday, this review was published on ReadPlus.
…a lively tribute to all things girlhood. Told through short four line verses with carefully chosen words, this skilfully written picture book radiates energy and charm. Its dynamic rhythm and joyful vibe are sure to delight readers from start to finish… A powerful message of diversity and inclusivity is shared throughout the narrative, with the bold and captivating illustrations bringing visual interest and vitality to the text… This will provide a wonderful Early Year’s learning opportunity. Highly Recommended. Kathryn Beilby
Melbourne launch details, for April 30, can be found here. (We’d love to see you.)
Links to buy the book are here.
Or reserve a copy at your local library.
The teaching notes are finished, linked to the curriculum, and will be available on my website in the next few days. (They also include lovely colouring sheets by Deb.)
And watch my Instagram for an upcoming giveaway collab with Andrea Hillbrick.
Thank you to our publisher, MidnightSun, for making this book so special.
For now, I’ll leave you with the trailer.
Love Katrina xx
