It's there every day if you look for it. The glint of gold. It’s in the white blossom of our plum tree against a blue sky. Or the sparkles Jack Frost leaves on the drive to school...

A heart-warming story to inspire awareness, gratitude and positive thinking.

Kate McGann is a writer living in Central Victoria with her partner and two children. She loves to write stories that explore relationships and wellbeing. She is a life-long fossicker of nature’s treasures and is endlessly inspired by the world around her. Kate considers mothering as her most important role, but she is also employed dancing and striking yoga poses with young children, as well as providing supportive therapy to a child with special needs. Eons ago, Kate trained as a naturopath and still can’t go past the smell of dried herbs without swooning. She loves collecting nature’s treasures like seedpods, stones, shells and fallen bird nests. She adores Autumn and patiently waits for its return every year.

Being an only child, Patricia Ward spent much of her time living in her imagination, bringing it to life through drawing and illustration. She loves exploring colour and playing with positive and negative spaces. Her work is vibrant and whimsical, with an underlying sense of a narrative. Patricia believes every illustration should tell a story, whether it is accompanied by text or not.
