Local author launches new book
Clifton Library was a hub of excitement on Saturday, 16 August as many joined Clifton children’s book author and illustrator, Merlene Konz, in celebrating the launch of her second children’s book ‘The Tenth Egg’.
Merlene Konz (centre) is joined by children’s book author and illustrator Terese Eglington (left) and Back Road Artists member Karin Cheetham (right).
Inspired by Australia’s unique wildlife and the sanctuaries set up to protect endangered species like the bilby, Merlene hopes to encourage compassion and respect for our native species through her stories.
In ‘The Tenth Egg’, the reader is invited to help Mr Emu solve the mystery of the missing egg.
This delightful story complete with detailed illustrations is available at Blossom Café and Post, Greenmount or by contacting Merlene at merlenekonz@yahoo.com
Merlene’s delightful illustrations are on exhibition at the Clifton Library throughout August.
