SOMEWHERE LOST by Just Write For Kids Australia and Friends is a special edition hard cover picture book anthology, written and illustrated in the form of an enchanting adventure by various local and award-winning illustrators of children’s books.
In this delightfully exciting story, our artists take our beloved new characters, Walter the duck and Scout the frog, on an interpretive journey through various metaphorical states of being ‘lost’. Walter is literally and emotionally lost without his friend Scout to keep him on track, especially after being whooshed away into lost worlds of snow, jungle, desert, space, socks, their own worries and other imaginative and fantastical places! How will they reunite, and will Walter find a new perspective?
An inspiring and charming collection of artistic compositions, lyrical language and literary devices, and interactive elements that will spark curiosity, wonderment and engagement as readers get lost in the pages from start to end.
We are honoured to be sponsoring our charity of choice by donating a percentage of book sale proceeds to The Indigenous Literacy Foundation – assisting with funding and literacy opportunities for Indigenous children and families living in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities. We thank you kindly for your generous support.
