The much-anticipated second book from Wiradjuri artist Jessica Ann Leffley Curious Cockatoos needs your help!
Curious Cockatoos will be a full colour, A4 children's book with watercolour illustrations and thoughtful rhymes that count the species of cockatoos found in Australia. To get this beauty into physical form, I've decided to go all or nothing and launch this campaign with the hopes of getting enough pre-orders to make this dream a reality.
With thanks to all those who have supported me on my self-publishing journey thus far, please share away!
Budget Overview
The budget goal is to have enough funds to print and ship Curious Cockatoos to my home address for distribution; all illustrations and text are already complete.
Books will retail for $35aud, with an additional $10 for postage.
$5 from the sale of each book will go to the Feathered Friends Bird Sanctuary to support their valuable work in Black Cockatoo conservation on Dharawal and Gundungurra country. *Please note, this donation will remain the same for every book sold following the campaign
