Kellie Byrnes' new picture book

April 25, 2018

Congrats to Kellie Byrnes on the publication of

Cloud Conductor

Illustrated by Anne-Marie Finn

Published by Wombat Books, in hardback

for around 4 - 8 years.

Frankie loves watching clouds. As seasons pass, she's lifted from her bedroom on tales she creates in the sky. Even when illness leaves her bedridden, Frankie can escape to the beach with shimmering waves, or the outback, with thundering horses.

Cloud Conductor encourages children to use their imagination in dealing with any challenges they may have in life. It also prompts discussion on topics like illness, the seasons, weather and music.  A media kit and teachers' notes are available. 

Sounds great - congrats again Kellie!
