Ford Street go where large publishers ‘fear to tread’ like:-
-F2M transgender YA novel by Hazel Edwards & transgender author Ryan Kennedy
- young adult picture book ‘The Star’ by Felicity Marshall
-the ‘green’ picture book ‘The Gladdhouse’ by Paul Collins illustrated by Jo Thompson.
I’m excited by Ford St publishing my ‘Ships in the Field’ - my first picture book.
‘Ships in the Field’ is a deeply personal story inspired by growing up from a post war refugee family. It’s funny, sad, warm dealing with loss, hope, finding a new home.
Award winning illustrator Anna Pignataro understands as we both are part of the immigrant experience.
I was moved by Anna’s beautiful illustrations & concepts in her storyboard, at our meeting in Melbourne with editors Niki Horin editor & Meredith Costain.
Thankyou Paul Collins and Medith Costain for the delicious ‘rustic’ dinner in the Victorian heritage garden home – loved the environmental water tanks, fragrant garden, porch & the Barbie dolls.
Never knew Meredith’s secret – she’s the secret author of the Barbie tales. See Barbies on the piano.
