My Heart

A hardback picture book for 4-8 year olds published by EK Books

01 March 2024

From a baby’s first smile until to the first day of school, these moments and all in-between fill a mother’s heart with joy, worry, pride and love.

Celebrate a journey of memories and emotions in this tribute to mothers everywhere.

'My Heart' began as a letter the author, Katrina, wrote to her daughter when she started kindergarten. It depicts the many ways a mother’s heart can experience love and emotion while her baby journeys through the milestones of growing up.

Chasing Rainbows

Illustrated by Cheri Hughes

Published by Big Sky Publishing, in paperback

For ages 3 - 8.

Are rainbows magical? And how do you ‘capture’ a rainbow to find out?
Chasing Rainbows is an entertaining story of chaos, colour and a new discovery that will change the way Sam and Ruby see rainbows forever.

A book launch will be planned for later in the year once restrictions soften and community groups can come together once more to celebrate books.

Bring it on - congrats again Katrina!
