1 y separately published work icon Friends of the Flood : An Australian Story 'Nana Ryll' , Michael Holyhead (illustrator), Buddina : Joshua Books , 2012 Z1870737 2012 single work picture book children's 'Friends of the Flood is an Australian children's story inspired by the January 2011 floods that swept across our great southern land. The rain is pouring down and the river is rising fast. Our Aussie bush animals are trapped and their lives are in great danger ... who will save them? It could be the most unlikely hero of all!

This beautifully illustrated story mirrors the co-operation between Australian people who cast their differences aside in order to help one another. Through great adversity special friendships were formed and lives, homes, and communities were rebuilt.

Your child will love the endearing illustrations of Australian animals including possums, owls, emus, wombats, echidnas, cockatoos, dingos, snakes and frogs. They will be enraptured by the clever rhyming and heartwarming tale of animals cooperating. You can use this book to teach children about Australian animals, predators and prey, cooperation and learning how to cope with adversity.' (Publisher's blurb)
1 y separately published work icon Pebbles in the Road Ryll Paul , Buddina : Joshua Books , 2012 6770324 2012 single work autobiography

'Pebbles in the Road takes you inside the extraordinary experiences of joy, sorrow, strength, hope and survival in one woman’s life. This story will wrench at the heart.

'From a difficult childhood through the 50s and 60s in Brisbane to abusive and neglectful relationships, motherhood, and the love and loss of a son ... these are the happenings that have shaped a life.

'Readers will be able to relate to what it was like growing up in a time when children could be children and those too young to know will enjoy the anecdotes of an era filled with things we take for granted now.

'This story is about finding strength in the face of the greatest adversity and the courage to make choices. During challenging times in our life, ultimately we are responsible for our own well-being and happiness.'
