y separately published work icon My Little World Malvern : Omnibus Books , 2011 Z1771629 2011 single work picture book children's 'It's hard to see the big picture when you're a child, but then it's much easier to see the really small things - insects, lichen, coloured leaves and tiny mushrooms. And it's fun to point out something that others can't see or don't even notice as they hurry past. This is an artful exploration of the bustling world of nature usually unseen and unobserved.' (Trove record)
