I’ve been illustrating Adena and her Star for a little more than two years and she’s finally here to pre-order!!

A story about the strength it takes to do what you love again 💌 Follow Adena across the Australian landscape (you may even recognise some places 👀) as she goes on the quest to find her best friend Star ⭐️

There are 32 full-page, detailed watercolour illustrations that will transport you into a world of whimsy and adventure.

Someone asked me what a pre-order is?
Well you buy the book in advance of its publish date (and in this case you get extra goodies 🙂‍↕️)
As a debut self published author illustrator pre-orders mean everything as they all go towards the first week is sales. This is when publishers and booksellers pay attention, the higher sales the more likely Adena and her Star will be sold at your bookstore and be translated 💌

BIG HUGS to anyone who has preordered a copy it’s so heartwarming to see local names in my orders 🥺 🫶🙏
