Wren

Description

Sometimes we find what we're looking for in the most unexpected places. Wren just wants a bit of peace and quiet. What he gets is the noisiest baby sister you could ever imagine! But when Wren runs away to the country, he discovers that maybe peace and quiet isn't all he needs . . . With bright, modern illustrations and a powerfully simple story, any child (and any parent!) who's ever had to deal with a noisy sibling will love Wren. This debut from the new team of Katrina Lehman and Sophie Beer is sure to delight.

Katrina Lehman (Author) Katrina lives in Melbourne with her three children, a gardener/baker/handyman husband, and a blue tongue lizard. She is lucky enough to spend all day crafting words as a writer and as an editor, helping authors unleash their inner magic. Sophie Beer (Illustrator) Sophie Beer is an illustrator from Brisbane, Queensland. She completed dual bachelors in Law and Creative Industries at Queensland University of Technology before turning freelance. Revelling in colour, shape and texture, she lives by one simple rule- art should never be boring. When she's not illustrating, she's usually found drinking dangerous amounts of tea and indulging in her other passion- literature.
