Melbourne Word by Word
A children’s picture book exploring all things iconically Melbourne.
My first illustrated children’s book explores some of the iconic landmarks and hidden gems of Melbourne. From coffee shops tucked away down our cities renowned graffiti-covered alleyways to trams dinging along Bourke Street and all the way to cornstore milkbars in the suburbs. Illustrating a book like this affords you the rare opportunity to take the time to slow down and appreciate all the little things that make Melbourne the marvellous place that it is.
