How this adventure began
This book was inspired by the ferry trips I take with my two girls along the Parramatta River to Cabarita. Like many parents, I’m always looking for ways to get my kids outside and off screens. That’s how this project was born.
The book is lovingly hand-drawn and deliberately analogue, a small pushback against too much screen time, and a celebration of real-world adventure.
I’m hoping to expand this to other little journeys around our our wonderful city. If you’ve got a perfect local trip in mind, please let me know in the form below.
