Gierck , 2023 26048096 2023 single work picture book children's 'Being the smallest fish in the stream is not easy. For Gladys and Stripey, two endearing fish, it gets harder when, after a night of heavy rain, fast flowing water sweeps them out of their home habitat. What can they do? Will they make it back home? This (almost) true story is based on a nationally threatened Australian native fish species, called Galaxiella pusilla. Told in rhyme, with accompanying scientific notes, young and not so young readers will discover lots about waterways, a special fish species and how tough life can be for two little fish.'

1 y separately published work icon Charlie's Shell Marina Zlatanova , Marina Zlatanova (illustrator), Chatswood : New Holland , 2019 17281476 2019 single work picture book children's

'Charlie the snail is taunted by three passing slugs. Charlie looks different, he has a big shell on his back. Bewildered and upset, Charlie has a very clever idea - to discard his once-beloved shell so he too could look like a slug. Alas! Being bare is not as easy as it seems. Painful sunburn, pelting hailstones, prickly brambles and a swooping magpie are just some of the many misfortunes to befall a helpless shell-less snail! A snail tale with an important message at the heart - to appreciate the shell you’re in!'
