Down in the Shed

  • My musically talented mum wrote this story as a song years ago so we decided to turn it into a picture book featuring possums and wombats and tea as well as music and education resources.

    I illustrated these friendly characters from the attic studio at mum and dad's house, which is surrounded by gum trees, corrugated iron roofed sheds and plenty of possums.
