Critics Review
“I particularly loved the full spread illustrations depicting Nova’s frantic search around her home, as she looks for her missing artwork. Toys tumble, books fly, puzzles tip and rugs slide out of cupboards. I also loved the side panels clearly portraying Nova’s changing emotions throughout her search.” – What Book Next
A must for every child’s bookshelf, Nova’s Missing Masterpiece is a marvellous guide to managing enormous feelings. The uncomplicated techniques are effectively mini mental reset buttons that kids can tuck away in their mind until needed. – Buzz Words
“Authors are often told to write what they know and or love. I’m incredibly passionate about writing stories with themes that centre on mental health because of my experience in that field. When I was in my early 30’s (and my daughter was four years old) my husband suicided. Consequently, my daughter developed anxiety (which inspired me to write my debut picture book, Go Away, Worry Monster!). Mental health has so significantly impacted my life and my daughter’s that I want to be able to help children manage their mental health and be confident and enjoy their life.” – Novel Insight
